"Stars and shadows ain't good to see by." Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn

Some folks might be inclined to say, “The stars are a just guide to righteousness and everlasting truth.” My reply to such whimsical folly would empathically be, “Best be careful ’lest those bright stars blind the truths found only in what the eye can see.” At which point, those same folks might then be wont to argue, “Well then, best be sure to look behind, beneath, and betwixt the shadows for they lurk both day and night, ever ready to unveil what you seek.” My resounding, resolute, and finite answer would, without a doubt, stand firm, “Shadows ain’t nothing good neither for therein lurk remnants of what truths lie hidden from the hearts of men.”
