Desert Shoots

“What makes the desert beautiful, is that somewhere it hides a well”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

 

 

“The first stars tremble as if shimmering in green water. Hours must pass before their glimmer hardens into the frozen glitter of diamonds. I shall have a long wait before I witness the soundless frolic of the shooting stars. In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens.” 

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars.

 

 

 

“I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
