Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrxkwtIcM2
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQssQsw3Ym
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwa1JD0R6
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabGgv4O9K
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCeY4bBRq9
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,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpEdymF1jh
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy2N6qMpWo
With fleas that one never knew were there,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZeFC5Q77l
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtNVvevdHZ
Trekking off into the living world.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZlUsTA2g
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BFRQUIgcJ
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Dg5MWXJz
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDN4g4DuBj
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB8Z8FTIj6
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyL6IsjKy
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxkfpbeth
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2kxdRcGd4
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj8SzNT7BP
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJATuai52b
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,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8o5UC4YXa
who neither listen nor speak;518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTfnIoi82f
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWVtVwWeW
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUSDdYvuAL
they are not tempted.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYNo2rarER
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NXjvnQ6mY
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfJP6IQBo3
They are not taken in.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GGYk3UG1j
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLHYhpeQNv
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uJBIcLB4
them and yell at them;518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgacurrQ8T
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A8DvAq1u3
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1niSYv4Eim
You drink it standing up,518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5GkWU3B8H
And leave the house.
