establish ties

Posted by bola (Friday 20th June 2008)

do you remember the book "little prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery???

do you remember the dialog between the fox and the little prince?

"No," said the little prince.
"I am looking for friends.
What does that mean---tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected,"
said the fox.
"It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox.
"to me, you are still nothing more than
a little boy who is just like
a hundred thousand other little boys.
And I have no need of you.
And you, on your part, have no need of me.
To you I am nothing more
than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I shall be unique in all the world. . ."

"I am beginning to understand,"
said the little prince.

Una de las obras literarias más bellas jamás escrita, llena de fábulas y metáforas que superan nuestro tiempo, si sabemos inculcar obras tan hermosas a las nuevas generaciones, lograremos que aunque sea "uno" alcance la epifanía de leer una una pieza tan bella...buen pasaje viejo, gran novela.
