Original artwork, not a still
Why does the sun come up, or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night?
— Highlander · 1986

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker joins a question about sunrise with an imaginative picture of stars as holes in a curtain of darkness. Ordinary features of the sky become puzzles rather than familiar facts. The phrasing combines curiosity with a playful willingness to imagine the night differently.
