"What impresses me the most about the sleeping little prince is his loyalty to his flower: the image of a rose that shines in it like the flame of a lamp even when it sleeps... and that made it seem even more fragile to my eyes. You have to be very careful with the lamps: a sudden wind is enough to put them out.
