Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYlqxKNn4F
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzRRgKDZEE
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCg9L7iTbz
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xEJxDdfzS
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB806llT9D3
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,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlia4giIss
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rl4r859Fs
With fleas that one never knew were there,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWBU2wqXI
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStfcoUcsgq
Trekking off into the living world.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6aIXjSK36
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEDXSfDy2S
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpfVxMIxdZ
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapujWMjYPI
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UcYooCsQ9
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7IQxY7Mfb
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnKZskxZNl
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuIYiYXfCQ
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT87kaap9mP
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5jA7LDCMH
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,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbA5Jvq0zz
who neither listen nor speak;524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdnosDMUxM
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcMDSpHIJN
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbQQiAxdQ
they are not tempted.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfxNmOm2v
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5fYMkDea
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYFAOewowu
They are not taken in.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE1ueQKPIY
Shout at them, get red in the face, rise,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrEVsOMEvg
Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH8lA5DLTG
them and yell at them;524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIxIPFPAo2
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAtHeOZWdM
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kdxBW3KFS
You drink it standing up,524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeEB02gZuc
And leave the house.
