Lessons Learned From Saint-Éxupéry's Fox Poem by Diana van den Berg

Lessons Learned From Saint-Éxupéry's Fox



If I didn’t know you
I would think you are
just like millions of other men,
but it’s too late for that,

for, as the fox
learned to know Saint-Éxupéry’s Little Prince,

I learned that you shine
your touch-whispers
through the sun,
and stroke moonskin
with soft fingertips,
and paint the sky
with the glorious colours of your heart.
