Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAjftrPtqU
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTCq9Lw8qe
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHrtt9O7fE
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhHsZYKBFo
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fu0vwhjkT
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,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgc4rCiYRe
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvcRH0YlvP
With fleas that one never knew were there,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOEpbrmnU
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwPf7WFEcd
Trekking off into the living world.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuylaYn6K
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jFOPr0ZkD
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5JKGVahDW
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunKDa4IGGi
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBzZnYy6x
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1nJBLI9YG
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdR55bQPKC
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW7xIwemrZ
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyEtDNs8b
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGGvSiqMy
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,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo3HatEdln
who neither listen nor speak;733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCc505X6bg
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYvpgsgMTn
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJciupqkkN2
they are not tempted.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohwk2srBxJ
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynP8VBrcVf
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgCr6WXFjE
They are not taken in.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvYPpQrbSy
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf8hhJr7LV
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd7E0CtVZe
them and yell at them;733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlA0yzgHmF
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUGNxSqpJ
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqU7BNccbn
You drink it standing up,733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG589MoKhdo
