Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ffWg3jwuT
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiU04Td3Y7
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rndjdoBI9
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELmUJaVHq
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ56FoeMA2
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,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT9mqKA7dy
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuPpU7YBIX
With fleas that one never knew were there,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrkwZh1iee
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQ1SMLvN2
Trekking off into the living world.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAREBiDpSr
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMximtuFFo
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVPh1PdCNC
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVWp3CMIl1
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArsKq1GkES
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UWgBDaDK6
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUHaWauo3P
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFCR8EaQLp
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZY9iEg0oq
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRt1uDOtx3
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,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SrZFKmtsI
who neither listen nor speak;616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyUcdbkMgQ
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrpdUubNYn
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPU2Yrq8yg
they are not tempted.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgwJubwQVX
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Mui5M1id
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf63BlGy6W9
They are not taken in.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkihrJg5ZHv
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIiglTobW7
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvQbPWfSp
them and yell at them;616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ONllPKtLf
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0mtVAwKAa
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TcVbw8DRq
You drink it standing up,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bZCWy0q4S
And leave the house.
