Diana's Diarya vault of venting anda mausoleum of musings (not to mention, an abode of alliteration)

2003-08-26 - 6:54 p.m. Good Old Saint-ExI just re-read The Little Prince. (On a lark, I went looking for something I can read to Sam's daughter the next time I go over there.) I had forgotten how freakin' sad that story is. Of course, part of that may be that I think that this might have been the first time that I've ever read it all the way through in English. That's right--the first time I read it (8 or 9 years ago--my God, that makes me feel old!), it was in the original French. Now I'd probably only be able to understand about a third of the French without help. On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. (Or something to that effect.) Makes me want to have a little fox of my own to tame. *sniff* -Diana �
