Tell me why the caged bird nutters against its prison bars, and I will tell you why the soul sickens of earthliness. The bird has wings, and wings were made to cleave the air, and soar in freedom in the sun. The soul is immortal - it cannot feed upon husks.
Blessed be childhood, which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness.
