Who pulls the chain that raises and lets down the sun? Who pulls the moon, or is someone throwing it around Earth on a huge lasso, drawing the tides in and out of their inexorable pattern? A town crier passes through the Earth's stage, shouting "The sun will fall! the sun will fall!" Who listens? Who heeds the ribbon of light dying on the horizon's edge, and whispers to his/her friend, "How long before the sun bleeds out? How long?"
