Summary
This quote implies that while childhood is typically viewed as a whimsical and carefree time, if it extends beyond its natural duration, it loses its enchantment. Instead, it can turn into a tormenting and difficult phase. It suggests that there is a certain boundary to the innocence and wonderment of childhood, and if this stage of life persists unnaturally, it can lead to extreme hardships and suffering.
