Little Prince Fox

myth:little_prince_fox

The fox of The Little Prince asks to be tamed, and teaches the deepest lesson of the whole communion: that it is the bond you take the trouble to create that makes a creature unique in all the world and beloved, that you stay forever responsible for what you have tamed, and that what truly matters cannot be seen with the eyes but only with the heart. Meaning made wholly of the tie — the proto-word principle, told to a child by a fox. — modern literature (reflexive)
