Looking at the night sky now +yields nothing but the viewer's own face as viewed from a million miles, +surrounded by the landscape he is only vaguely aware of being surrounded +by. He believes that he is alone, surrounded by desert and mountain, but +behind him---he now sees it---someone is sneaking up on him. He spins around +fast, but no one is there on Earth. He looks back up and they are yet +closer in the night sky. Again he looks over his shoulder but there is +nothing, not even a desert mouse. As he looks up again he realizes it's +a cloud above him, which due to optics has looked like someone else. The +cloud blocks out the moon which is now a mirror, and the viewer is +completely alone. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
