Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETbbWNx6a0
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16XogMwDiQ
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbFKvoiXGe
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJotfrvq7Vd
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWEhbGKraj
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,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuymVfQBd
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzr4uF1ui4
With fleas that one never knew were there,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMClrQV4DJ
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KekoSDwZk
Trekking off into the living world.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBtc0pOBc4
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWFWgoOAkb
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7H4YZhwoq
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulgzRIjTL
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI0U4v0eEO
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrbVo1JCBJ
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qjwBxFI2z
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeoMUg2GEx
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVW1ZAtD4S
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE89clkdJxq
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,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW6gHj00tR
who neither listen nor speak;522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqWGQBcSxt
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRGj49fm7b
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv402ctUpi
they are not tempted.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5CMzGSdTk
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWCrGoPTg
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXHoSaOdVS
They are not taken in.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aq3rx5UiT
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE2DPF7lfq
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmciSouo61
them and yell at them;522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblUKvot4ie
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURxxOsvbsw
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0qHUm40xJ
You drink it standing up,522Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhdQbVk8y
And leave the house.
