About this Quote

This quote by Georg Buchner paints a brilliant image of the night sky, with stars scattered like shimmering tears. It recommends that the stars suggest great pain, as if they have actually dripped from a sorrowful eye. The metaphor of the stars as tears suggests that the pain is so fantastic that it has been released into the night sky, and is now visible to all. The quote talks to the idea that pain can be so powerful that it transcends physical borders, and can be seen in the charm of the night sky. It likewise suggests that the discomfort is universal, as the stars are scattered all over the sky, and can be seen by anybody who searches for. The quote is a reminder that pain is a part of life, which it can be seen in the appeal of the night sky.
