A Singular of Roses
“People where you live,” the little prince said, “grow five thousand roses in one garden... Yet they don't find what they're looking for... And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose.”
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Mural and Verse by Dr Abe V Rotor
A single rose is all the roses in the world;
Because a rose is a rose is a rose.*
Nothing describes it best but its own word.
Oh, the power of a single rose!
* This expression comes from the American author Gertrude Stein. It appeared in her poem “Sacred Emily,” which was written in the year 1913 and published in 1922. ~
