Christopher Morley - TO A CHILD - A poet senses childhood a prism that itself can skim through time.

Описание: Let's start with some literary quotes relevant to the poem at hand:

'Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them'.
Dr. Seuss

'For in every adult there dwells the child that was,
and in every child there lies the adult that will be'.
John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things

'The body grows slowly and steadily
but the soul grows by leaps and bounds.
It may come to its full stature in an hour'.
L.M. Montgomery, Rilla of Ingleside

'Adults are the death of hope'.
― Peter David, Tigerheart

'I believe that everyone else my age is an adult
whereas I am merely in disguise'.
Margaret Atwood

BEST TO LISTEN TO THIS WITH EARPHONES AND TO LOWER VOLUME WHEN DOING SO -- (NB TO THIS END: If listening/watching this poem on a modern mobile/cell phone/tablet PLEASE REDUCE VOLUME BY AT LEAST A THIRD – BEST PERHAPS AT A HALF OR – EVEN BETTER - A QUARTER. If on an older PC - as, say, a goodly number of historic educational centres possess - please leave it as is. Technology has yet to achieve maximum equalisation in all quarters it seems. Would that it had. They promise I’m sure to get there soon. The poem will – in any case – out; nay, speak for itself.)
