About the stars:
As for stars, there are four types.
The first of these are called movers, because they move through the
night sky.
The second of these are called stayers, because they are far from the
sun.
The third of these are called dead or collapsers, because they fall
to the ground from the sky.
The fourth of these are called strangers, because they become visible
in the night sky but not for long. Those are the suns of the world
that the goddess has burned up in wrath.
