Kid Logic, and The First Starting From Scratch (This American Life)
"The little prince leaves Asteroid B-612 and, holding on to a flock of birds, travels through space. He does not come to earth directly, but visits six neighboring asteroids, which he explores...This illustrates the idea that Saint-Exupéry has not yet entered the just-so-ness of his personality, his earthly disposition, but keeps away from his own body and his own emotional disposition. In that way is not really himself in the mundane sense of the word, but spiritually he is more himself."
–M.L. Von Franz, The Problem of the Puer Aeternus, pp.77-79

“I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds. On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order. He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes... The little prince also pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs. He believed that he would never want to return. ”
