The children, in direct opposition to me, are in irrepressible hilarious spirits. Reading a little in “The Golden Age” and it comes over me with new clearness that our children’s horizon is too limited—the best back-yard in the world does not compensate for lack of unsupervised meadows, hollows & thickets—ponds, dells and unknown dusty roads.
