A Wish For Children
If I had influence with the good fairy - who is supposed
to preside over the christening of all children, I should

indestructible that it would last throughout life, an
unfailing antidote against boredom and disenchantment
of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that
are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.
