Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event

Childhood knows unhappiness through men. In solitude, it can relax its aches. When the human world leaves him in peace, the child feels like the son of the cosmos.

Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

Our whole childhood remains to be reimagined. In reimagining it, we have the possibility of recovering it in the very life of our reveries as a solitary child.

By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams.
