Know you what it is to be a child It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism 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 loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul.
