- Synopsis
- ‘A cloth spread under an apple tree can catch only apples’, wrote Antoine de SaintExupéry in Terre des hommes (Land of Men), (English title: Wind, Sand and Stars), ‘and a cloth spread under stars can catch only stardust . . . What was most marvelous was that, there, standing on the planet’s rounded back, between this magnetic cloth and those stars, was a man’s consciousness in which that star-fall could be reflected as in a mirror.’ And a few pages further on he writes: ‘I was but a mere mortal lost between sand and stars, aware simply of the sweet pleasure of breathing.’
