To Be a Child

“To be a child. . . It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into liftiness and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.”
