because she is my rose

這是上週末 Candice 給我的「怪東西」，今年春天她在箱根的小王子博物館買的，她說ㄧ眼見到，就直覺我也會嘖嘖稱奇。 (這個吊飾底部可以翻開，ㄟ...別想歪)

小時候，對於小王子的故事只粗略了解ㄧ個輪廓，印象中就是小王子到處在星球間旅行。約莫十年前，偶然間又重新拾讀，關於玫瑰、關於狐狸、關於馴養，產生了不同的體會和更加深刻的領略。

「because it is she that I have watered;
because it is she that I have put under the glass globe;
because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen;
because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars
(except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies);
because it is she that I have listened to,
when she grumbled, or boasted,
or even sometimes when she said nothing.
Because she is my rose.」
