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 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.
