"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty−four times!"
And a little later you added:
"You know, 'one loves the sunset, when one is so sad'..."
"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty−four sunsets?"
But the little prince made no reply.
If you were to say to the grown−ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!"
Bir sevgili gittiğinde, ona baktığınız gözlerinizi de alıp gitmiştir. Bir sevgili gittiğinde, altında onunla dolaştığınız gökyüzünü de alıp gitmiştir. Bir kuş, bir sevgili… İnsan kaybettikleriyle insandır.
