"But what does that mean ‘ephemeral‘?" repeated the little prince, who never in his life had let go of a question, once he had asked it.
"It means, ‘which is in danger of speedy disappearance.’"
"Is my flower in danger of speedy disappearance?"
"Certainly it is."
"My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!"
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage once more. "What place would you advise me to visit now?" he asked. "The planet Earth," replied the geographer. "It has a good reputation." And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower. - P84

And he continued his confidences: "The fact is that I did notknow how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me.

But I was too young to know how to love her......." - P49

He can say to himself, ‘Somewhere, my flower is there.......‘ But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars willbe darkened. And you think that is not important!"
He could not say anything more. His words were choked bysobbing. The night had fallen. I had let my tools drop frommy hands. Of what moment now was my hammer, my bolt, orthirst, or death? On one star, one planet, my planet, the Earth, there was a little prince to be comforted. I took him in my arms, and rocked him. I said to him: "The flower that you love is notin danger. I will draw you a muzzle for your sheep. I will drawyou a railing to put around your flower. I will......."
