Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtsPHX5Bv
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk02Dw6HvcD
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4s0VQiGa
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmXJhkfR7
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1zPdwUfo
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,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrVGSD9a3k
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmUaraYAAh
With fleas that one never knew were there,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfi34WDgcF
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjmntq0lOz
Trekking off into the living world.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyCUI9Yc5I
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpM0xilKz
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxwU05meHe
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO74S1IX2N
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVKKBw8Hep
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KUPIcKycv
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7vkxXHeeo
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzEv3xlERJ
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjteQVLldZo
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmCLSm60mT
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,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw9ctR1ta6
who neither listen nor speak;546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrhOrXQhVt
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXe9730oe
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtQTfL7Jrw
they are not tempted.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5E3GhdJE
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN79IDWSxH
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WROipa8BP
They are not taken in.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj650Zkwod
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGYUv1bSWg
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR5aeReBGs
them and yell at them;546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZleWAqX4LR
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMMuAJLsGB
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyoj4iLQ21
You drink it standing up,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelxAC6I1D9
And leave the house.
