“The desert is beautiful,” the little prince added.
And that was true. 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…
“What makes the desert beautiful,” said the little prince, “is that somewhere it hides a well…”
The Little Prince - Antoine Saint Exupery
“somewhere it hides a well” wow, I loved it.
Are u one of those crazy englishmen who loves the desert? no arab loves the desert!!!

Nesrina: begad, try to read the little prince. I think u’ll like it
Julio: well, arabs do love the desert !
“It is as though a man were deeply in love with a very fascinating but cruel woman. She treats him badly, and the world crumples in his hand; at night she smiles on him and the whole world is a paradise. The desert smiles and there is no place on earth worth living in but the desert.” Ahmed Hassanein Pasha in describing the desert in his book “The Lost Oases”

i love both the desert and the little prince.
i just read the little prince again this afternoon and wrote some lines in my blog. then wp generates some possibly related post to the topic *the little prince*. and that’s how i found your kaleidoscope.
have a nice day! [wherever you are] :]
