"Space was a great frosty darkness strewn with a million cold suns. The enormous crescent of Jupiter blotted the Milky Way, as if drinking a stream of stars. The sun was far and small and heartlessly brilliant." (p. 206)
Two familiar images:
an object seen against the Milky Way;
the universe as water.
