"Such power was a thing for the little prince to marvel at. If he had been master of such complete authority, he would have been able to watch the sunset, not forty-four times in one day, but seventy-two, or even a hundred, or even two hundred times, without ever having to move his chair. And because he felt a bit sad as he remembered his little planet which he had forsaken, he plucked up his courage to ask the king a favor:
<<I should like to see a sunset . . . Do me that kindness . . . Order the sun to set . . .>>"
Antoine de Saint Exupéry - The Little Prince
