Stars

The last letter Exupery "And you will be very special star … – What? – You look at the night sky, and yet there is such a star, where I live, where I laugh – and you hear that all the stars are laughing. You'll have stars that are able to laugh! " (Antoine de Saint-Exupery, 'The Little Prince'), Grand Hotel, Lyon, May 4, 1939 … returning from a long trip, I was passing through Lyon, … and that's before me your letter – they brought me more joy than you can imagine … imagine you are doing this planet a bit more habitable.

Each lost in the white desert, nothing is visible for twenty yards, you believe that you are alone in the world. But from time to time someone from calling to them: "Aegeus!" And others boaters meet him the same. And everyone is encouraged and encouraged lively friendly presence. No more, no fog, no loneliness. Aegeus! – Fly to meet each other miraculous shouts. Each boatman owned wealth – these reminiscent of cheers, and when there is among them, comes from somewhere in the depths of the fog a new voice, so – there, in the fog, comes a new miracle of human presence – then the boatman leans on the paddle with a heart full of heat. Aegeus – I wish that we saw each other again. Your friend, Antoine de Saint-Exupery
