A12. Wind, Sand and Stars
|
A girl's reverie isolates her from me, and how shall I enter into it? What can one know of a girl who passes, walking with slow steps homeward, eyes lowered, smiling to herself, filled with adorable inventions and with fables?
—Quotation from Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, translated by Lewis Galantière, 1939. That text was inspired by the girls he saw in Punta Arenas, where he landed one evening after flying over a plain of volcano craters beyond the boundaries of human habitation (at that time).
