Do not Christians and Heathens, Jews and Gentiles, poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences? – Walter Scott
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars.
