The reason why?

Things look like, sound like, are like.. beautiful things.
So strange why this didn't dawn on me before. I wanted to do a "tllt" of text from a book I loved and the first one that came to mind was one of the most beautiful passages (to me) in one of the most beautiful books- the part of "The Little Prince" where he meets the Fox.

The Little Prince planted that seed? If you have never read the book you can read it here.

But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."
