Strega Larsen a cité Comet in Moominland par Tove Jansson (Mumintrollen, #2)
A comet is speeding towards Earth - will it destroy everything and everyone ?
…
[Moomintroll] "We haven't seen a soul since we left home, and that was ages ago. Why in the world do you live here in this desert ?"
"I'm a tramp, and I live all over the place," answered Snufkin. "I wander about and when I find a place that I like I put up my tent and play my mouth organ."
"Do you like this place ?" asked Sniff in surprise, looking at the desolation all around them.
"Certainly I do," said Snufkin. "Look at that black velvet tree with the beautiful grey colours beyond; look at the mountains that are deep purple-red in the distance ! And sometimes a big blue buffalo comes to look at himself in the river."
"You aren't by any chance - er - a painter ?" asked Moomintroll rather shyly.
"Or perhaps a poet ?" suggested Sniff.
"I am everything !" said Snufkin, putting on the kettle. "And you are discoverers, I can see. What are you thinking of discovering ?"
Moomintroll cleared his throat and felt very proud. "Oh, everything," he said. "Stars for example !"
Snufkin was deeply impressed.
"Stars !" he exclaimed. "Then I must come with you. Stars are my favorite things. I always lie and look at them before I go to sleep and wonder who is on them and how one could get there. The sky looks so friendly with all those little eyes twinkling in it."

First encounter Moomintroll and Sniff had with Snufkin - talking about how that way we look at things can change them, the beauty of nature, sky and stars.
