Summary

This quote suggests that children, unlike adults, have the ability to fully embrace and appreciate the present moment. By not burdening themselves with the worries of the past or the anxieties of the future, children are able to immerse themselves in the joy and wonder of the present. Unlike adults who often get caught up in regrets or concerns, children possess a unique innocence that allows them to experience the present fully and revel in the simple pleasures of life.

There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a mans reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.
