Starring the Star (6)

"*ACT. "comparable": comparative action between the original text and the sky. **&***SEM. "flat and smooth": Connotation of smoothness, and peace. Reminiscent of river imagery used previously, "deep, without edges and without landmarks": Connotation of mystery and something full of undiscovered meaning, waiting to be explored. ****SYM. Original text is once again compared to a natural entity. In this case, instead of a river, the text is compared to the sky, which, like the river, is described as very calm and explorable."

*REF. "Imagery": Any descriptive language that is used to evoke sensory experience. **HEM. "Full of undiscovered meaning": What is the meaning behind starred texts?
