“Adults follow paths. Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences.

“... and all the hurts and scars / Of everyday were healed, and I would sleep / Safe with the good-night memory of stars.”
