one loves the sunset

"I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now."
"But we must wait,"
I said.
"Wait? For what?"
"For the sunset. We must wait until it is time."
 


"One day,"
you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-three times!"And a little later you added:
"You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..."
"Were you so sad, then?"
I asked, "on the day of the forty-three sunsets?"

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
