on Roses

“She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her...” 

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

All of a sudden, roses began spilling out beneath the tree house.

And they are beautiful.
