In Earnest
The quiet of dawn,
Was a wonderful spell!
I cherish the moment,
But I’ve something to tell …
Ginger my friend said,

Perhaps the answer goes something like this. We expect the star to look the same even after we realize that it is a faraway ball of flame rather than a nearby hole, but the pain ought to feel different once we realize that it is a stimulated C-fiber, for the pain *is* a feeling, as the star is *not* a visual appearance.
