Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30uNSGr5FT
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriok9Qjux9
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn23kv4EJ8F
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSLOm7Gnbo
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocs481SaT
And went away, and cannot really be said to have lived at all.
And cats die. They lie on the floor and lash their tails,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIpttL4rDg
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMjy26wjlZ
With fleas that one never knew were there,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGDIIxDrc9
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZZPYf1by
Trekking off into the living world.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmJ6mUA5gX
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStPABffOLM
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKXiHdStg
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKacjcv7fOu
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AOhcGE41i
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes0nuXeSJR
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwygqn9USN
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7b5sWYYr8
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqhCj3Ema
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b7q4DL9js
Is plenty of time to say, "I'm sorry, mother."
To be grown up is to sit at the table with people who have died,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR9JHZvOLj
who neither listen nor speak;578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE0xsfFcCW
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpikOZ3JFB
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EKcM6uTmn
they are not tempted.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iNkbL7SDe
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtvGQJ9f8p
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqwrOxaox6
They are not taken in.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbzl3rdd4d
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqPdqHP3u8
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1pCTaud5l
them and yell at them;578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU11VpjXS4
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8TUGT1Wb3
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BtXqW2GHS
You drink it standing up,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzp5p2pA1S
And leave the house.
