Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz7gDQ860w
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxfT29dkS
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7YEnfBaRL
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCx3JQyrtg
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT1wpChSJ9
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,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTAjMfUlBy
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZTWEKQto8
With fleas that one never knew were there,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UG377MvnP
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKYkaiyOZ
Trekking off into the living world.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcsQoLJsqN
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKguPpgfz2
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCb4G6jqxf
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJR80KWQ3R
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EXftD7Jxa
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCYjAYDZHb
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaQpOlrM5A
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1k7QxtZ3D
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KEekDgRQq
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkJqpHcDhF
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,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNAH9JXG3
who neither listen nor speak;519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9CdUgu10Q
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxVmLNx6lf
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJog0lS0vN
they are not tempted.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1KIMZQgfy
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUIYi07Ukj
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT9lRxiTCz
They are not taken in.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhuVUGkAir
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaoPH4srqY
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHE2pJLjAj
them and yell at them;519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MHujqoPyT
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTdTGjxdGe
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4RbcDmV9x
You drink it standing up,519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLsZlc86B
And leave the house.
