Do you remember still the falling stars br that like swift horses through the heavens raced br and suddenly leaped across the hurdles br of our wishes--do you recall? And we br did make so many! For there were countless numbers br of stars: each time we looked above we were br astounded by the swiftness of their daring play, br while in our hearts we felt safe and secure br watching these brilliant bodies disintegrate, br knowing somehow we had survived their fall.
