27. Celui-là tissera des toiles, l’autre dans la forêt
par l’éclair de sa hache couchera l’arbre.
L’autre, encore, forgera des clous, et il en sera
quelque part qui observeront les étoiles afin
d’apprendre à gouverner. Et tous cependant ne
seront qu’un.
Créer le navire ce n’est point tisser les toiles,
forger les clous, lire les astres, mais bien
donner le goût de la mer qui est un, et à la
lumière duquel il n’est plus rien qui soit
contradictoire mais communauté dans l’amour.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Citadelle (1948)
28. One will weave the canvas; another will fell a tree
by the light of his ax. Yet another will forge nails,
and there will be others who observe the stars to
learn how to navigate. And yet all will be as one.
Building a boat isn’t about weaving canvas,
forging nails, or reading the sky. It’s about giving
a shared taste for the sea, by the light of which
you will see nothing contradictory but rather a
community of love.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Citadelle (1948)
