Mark Twain wrote that “a Southerner talks music”. This is Huck Finn describing life on the river:

“It’s lovely to live on a raft. We have the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss whether they was made or only just happened -- Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened: I judged it would have took too long to make so many. Jim said the moon could a laid them; well that looked kind of reasonable, so I didn’t say nothing against it because I’ve seen a frog lay most as many, so of course it could be done. We used to watch the stars that fell, too, and see them streak down. Jim allowed they’d got spoiled and was hove out of the nest.” ~ Page 186
