I love to revel in philosophical matters--especially astronomy. I study astronomy more than any other foolishness there is. I am a perfect slave to it. I am at it all the time.I have got more smoked glass than clothes. I am as familiar with the stars as the comets are. I know all the facts and figures and I have all the knowledge there is concerning them. I yelp astronomy like a sun-dog, and paw the constellations like Ursa Major."
