Aah, memory!!
I think that The Star has been one of the first *true* SF stories I have 
read in my youth (apart from Jules Verne of course!). I remember that it was 

found the theme profoundly moving and - yes - that got me thinking too, 
about religion, fate, and the indifference of the Universe (or Life for that 
matter). It confirmed a few questions I already had  :-)
