"Comet Donati", colour lithograph by Philippe Benoist, from Amédée Guillemin's Le Ciel (1877)

Introduction

Another wonderful image shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook

The music is "Catch A Falling Star" by Anthony Moore, a cover of a song, which I believe was originally released by Perry Como.

💫 A Comet Over Notre Dame💫

Lookiing into the night sky over Notre Dame, and the moon has left leaving only a milky way of twinkling starlight. The streets and the Seinne are quite and still.

The above the cathedral towers the sky is lit by a falling star, or maybe it is a comet. Some look up in wonder, and make a wish as it leaves a fiery trail in the black/blue of the night, cutting it like a knife through a dark curtain letting in the light.

After a time the comet dsappears, leaving the remains of its trail, and the memory of what it might have been.

Above Paris the night is dark, lit only by the twinkling faraway starlight of the Milky Way.
