A note on the excerpt below from The Little Prince...

Antoine de Saint Exupery's Little Prince is most truly beautiful to me, and the segment about the fox is one of my very favorites. I read the whole book to a student over a few weeks and she had to watch me cry through the entire ending. (Try reading a book that way; it's very difficult.) Anyway, it's like poetry to me. So that's why it's on my blog.
