'Vous �tes belles, mais vous �tes vides', leur dit-il encore.
'On ne peut pas mourir pour vous. Bien s�r, ma rose � moi, un passant ordinaire croirait qu'elle vous ressemble. Mais � elle seule elle est plus importante que vous toutes, puisque c'est elle que j'ai arros�e. Puisque c'est elle que j'ai mise sous globe. Puisque c'est elle que j'ai abrit�e par le paravent. Puisque c'est elle dont j'ai tu� les chenilles (sauf les deux ou trois pour les papillons). Puisque c'est elle que j'ai �cout�e se plaindre, ou se vanter, ou m�me quelquefois se taire. Puisque c'est ma rose.'

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose..."

your posts are so broken-hearted. but your life seems to be going along so wonderfully from where i'm standing. then again i am standing pretty far away. where's the incoherent jumble of french from?

It's not an incoherent jumble of french. It's from a book. A book I'm very fond of.

which one? looks like there were two. well, three now. i don't think anonymous tagging is a very nice thing to do, but sometimes things want to be said, and your identity just gets in the way.

apologetically anonymous

Men are so full of contridiction. Assuming that you and the second note leaver on the previous entry were the same person, it is ironic that you vilify jesse for keeping his blog a secret from his loved ones and yet, you wouldn't reveal your identity from some reasons to him. God bless anonymonity.
