Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmdj1lDiMV
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUQdWuYmFq
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy32Do6SGwH
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOqBBEaUJ7
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsmcsL1i7E
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,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUJnELHGcE
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPwq5ffwI9
With fleas that one never knew were there,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKusGYFhQB
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKt8Q7NQu
Trekking off into the living world.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjceEihmTr
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmu0gAHGVB
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNjXbMD4Es
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pQLryz9Zd
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNNZkHg8GM
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGXwJPuLHP
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPluLsoBIZf
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NfN44RhjP
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsl2aN7FyK
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbrbkkzvpK
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,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBYVCs3LK
who neither listen nor speak;594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNmKUJmhPP
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHSPFGJKOW
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNRVxyNUFJ
they are not tempted.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkfRLCnZbM
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcC7Yb6Mcu
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDlWWv5TU
They are not taken in.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlGpSHv4D
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYdKFt3Fu5
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnzTMnRC2
them and yell at them;594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQC5IaJGP
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw1NhO0gV1
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMsFVanfpc
You drink it standing up,594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JyZTjPxKT
And leave the house.
