Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNde2qyWKOn
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB22j2c6ko
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjHUzCFXYt
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrjOo9L576
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQxBObRJ8
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,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr8hgCJy6g
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtM68mHuGm
With fleas that one never knew were there,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsPWFXnwCn
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EfOwc1VR2
Trekking off into the living world.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXZ9DIX17W
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVVVzqyGT4
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgt5PgqrUp
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSqqyFSaKD
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue3klp29hI
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQyT0KVBSi
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMLFCjQhkm
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pFbNYLfhY
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDKsZVHZI
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2ANOUFHa
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,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJdxag7zo
who neither listen nor speak;764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIsE7PiaEr
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g0JCa3HUX
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq0Hfe1Smh
they are not tempted.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K8Ta2SLYR
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TOJFgGBmT
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGAHLFo8j
They are not taken in.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXMVSpf4N2
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAu5aAuuhD
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Gh3Vzsha
them and yell at them;764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiF6sKUEZr
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z9HDxyDjI
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JuGfZ0gGC
You drink it standing up,764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol3Sr1ydgc
And leave the house.
