Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITebhueNUX
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KcrRLNXe
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHNLPlx0r
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGLIu7HmLC
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBesNaa5X1a
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,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOq4Wu7gsn
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0nB70XgP
With fleas that one never knew were there,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqYBodycLJ
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUtjn1ZDDp
Trekking off into the living world.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9xQGkTDS5
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tkXhwYbp6
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaeDEyRX4i
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNM10fNRG
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ptc1RncJJ
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61XXQ9yyc7
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTKRcpfFNE
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjDInz8mtb
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefYwC3pNI9
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAEZIZZOqU
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,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTGUpQSbYt
who neither listen nor speak;490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNTmlIjIsl
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuh94mCqdO
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrBXq41M3
they are not tempted.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyQnIcceLU
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOjdgH0pZq
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKLlinw3s2
They are not taken in.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7QF0sbXph
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hE0Dd9ThI
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ5oQYGkvZ
them and yell at them;490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0cBzrfNql
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUKcsprTcs
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb9xhLuRrR
You drink it standing up,490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Py0upU2ou
