I Saw an Angel

 A  L  O  H  A !

When I was little -

 " In every real man

 a child is hidden

 that wants to play. "

Friedrich Nietzsche

"  The great man is he 

who does not lose 

his child's-heart.  "

Mencius


" You're never too old to do goofy stuff.  "

From the television show Leave it to Beaver, 

spoken by the character Ward Cleaver

 

" So, like a forgotten fire, 

a childhood can always

 flare up again

 within us.  "

Gaston Bachelard

" A child's world
is fresh and new
and beautiful,
full of wonder and excitement.

 It is our misfortune

 that for most of us

 that clear-eyed vision,

 that true instinct for what is beautiful 

and awe-inspiring, 

is dimmed and even lost 

before we reach adulthood. 

If I had influence with the good fairy

 who is supposed to preside

 over the christening of all children,

 I should ask that her gift 

to each child in the world 

be a sense of wonder so indestructible

 that it would last throughout life, 

as an unfailing antidote 

against the boredom and disenchantment 

of later year…the alienation

 from the sources of our strength.”

  Rachel Carson,

  The Sense of Wonder
