Look at this
tiny six-year old child, sorrounded by happiness and sitting amidst
things which he has made with his own hand. The mother is teasing him
with her kisses. He sits there under the proud gaze of his father's
eyes. At this feet we see some little plan, some bit of his dream of
human life that he himself has made as he learns the art of
construction: it could be a wedding, or a party, or a mourning, or a
death. For the time being, it holds his attention and he talks about
it; he builds his life around it. Afterwards he will change and talk
about business, or love, or war. And soon enough this tune will be
changed for another new interest and he will start playing another part
in his play of life. He will play all the parts that life offers from
youth to sick old age as though his whole purpose in life were to
imitate others. |
