Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhTJdoWg77
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2QcE5GqwU
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Nobody that matters, that is. Distant relatives of course600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8fmDHCYVA
Die, whom one never has seen or has seen for an hour,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRReAzpAb4m
And they gave one candy in a pink-and-green stripéd bag, or a jack-knife,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8mqwBh2Kl
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,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK03feJl412
And their reticent fur is suddenly all in motion600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqPHgIn5iD
With fleas that one never knew were there,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVKZaQvmj
Polished and brown, knowing all there is to know,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCKJCXKlFK
Trekking off into the living world.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsChzmPwpI
You fetch a shoe-box, but it's much too small, because she won't curl up now:600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO5mnswjTV
So you find a bigger box, and bury her in the yard, and weep.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmeO02Wfuq
But you do not wake up a month from then, two months600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaGfojkgTh
A year from then, two years, in the middle of the night600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMHsC9vZS
And weep, with your knuckles in your mouth, and say Oh, God! Oh, God!600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeSGe9TIyY
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies that matters,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgrfWlafyo
—mothers and fathers don't die.
And if you have said, "For heaven's sake, must you always be kissing a person?"600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlWLjvZeXC
Or, "I do wish to gracious you'd stop tapping on the window with your thimble!"600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJVKf1Ovwd
Tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow if you're busy having fun,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFJsu4kVW
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,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYINrqIBYMp
who neither listen nor speak;600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgFOzcQGh
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJHQbOHutV
Tea was such a comfort.
Run down into the cellar and bring up the last jar of raspberries;600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP805vGSNSY
they are not tempted.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU0Rj5Pelb
Flatter them, ask them what was it they said exactly600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkLLZeJ0cF
That time, to the bishop, or to the overseer, or to Mrs. Mason;600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jLI1zFFf
They are not taken in.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubZ4f7Sdm1

Drag them up out of their chairs by their stiff shoulders and shake600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9msOb03L4w
them and yell at them;600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMrLR98XgP
They are not startled, they are not even embarrassed; they slide600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTkZHjqRS5
back into their chairs.
Your tea is cold now.600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ878Bb9HiaB
You drink it standing up,600Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHx6rd3DPo
