| I'm not tired since I slept in late today so I'm going to translate a section of Le Petit Prince for you all that I find... sad. Ah! Little prince, I understood, little by little, your small melancholic life. The only distraction you had, for a long time, was the sunsets. I learned this new detail on the morning of the fourth day when you said: ”I love sunsets. Let’s go watch a sunset…” ”But you need to wait...” ”Wait for what?” ”Wait for the sun to set.” You seemed very surprised at first and then you laughed at yourself. And you said: ”I always think I’m at home!” Indeed. When it’s noon in the United States, the sun, everyone knows, is setting in France. It would be enough to be able to go to France in a minute to watch the sun set. Unfortunately, France is too far away. But, on your small planet, it would be enough for you to move your chair a few steps. And you would look at the twilight as many times as you wished. ”One day, I saw the sun set 43 times!” And a little later you added: ”You know… when one is very sad one loves the sunsets…” “The day of the 43 times, were you very sad?” But the little prince didn’t answer. I love you all. (P.S. I changed my background to this.) |
