1 | * The exchange between the narrator and the Prince in chapter 6. |
2 | -->"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!" And a little later you added: "You know -- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..." |
3 | -->"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?" But the little prince made no reply. |
4 | * In chapter 7, the aviator accidentally dismisses the prince's fear of losing his rose, and desperately tries to comfort him when he cries, but doesn't know how. |
5 | -->''I did not know what to say to him. I felt awkward and blundering. I did not know how I could reach him, where I could overtake him and go on hand in hand with him once more.\ |
6 | \ |
7 | It is such a secret place, the land of tears.'' |
8 | * When the prince finally realizes that he must return to his rose, and consequently must abandon his now-tame Fox. It's worse if you've seen the 1974 movie, where the Fox is played by the gentle Creator/GeneWilder. |
9 | -->"Ah," said the Fox, "I shall cry." |
10 | * The Fox's last lesson for the prince, especially if you think of its importance near the ''end'' of the book... say with the laughing stars: |
11 | -->And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. |
12 | * "I stopped in my tracks, my heart torn asunder; but still I did not understand." |
13 | * The prince revealing he is leaving, and the aviator's response: |
14 | -->"I shall not leave you." |
15 | * The end when the little prince returns to his asteroid. Or, if you interpret it differently, the prince returns post-mortem. |
