Thinking Out Loud ~ The Little Prince: The Fox’s Secret About Love

Spread the love

Saint-Exupéry writes in The Little Prince of the Little Prince and the fox parting. The fox tells the Little Prince a secret about love as they are parting.

“Goodbye,” said the little prince.

“Goodbye,” said the fox. “Here is my secret. It is very simple: we see well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“The essential is invisible to the eyes,” the little prince repeated in order to remember it.

“It is the time you have spent for your rose that makes your rose so important.”

“It is the time I have spent for my rose,” the little prince said in order to remember.

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible forever for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose.”

“I am responsible for my rose, the little prince repeated in order to remember.

Note: Two people, who are deeply in love, sitting together can look at each other and know that each is loved; they read each other ‘s thoughts; they know when each other is troubled; they know when each other is happy; they know when they are in each other ‘s company that there is no place else in the world that they would like to be. Their hearts are communicating and beating as one. I hope you have this kind of love in your life.
