"--But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: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;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."--Antoine De Saint-Exupery
