I notice that very few stars are able to cast their light through this veil of cloud, thin though it is.

Was it the brush of that chill late night breeze against my skin that induced this strange fancy? The crickets are chirping in the brush. They have no answer. I go back into the house with night pulled over it like a blanket.
