One! two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snickersnack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

The ability to retain a child's view of the world with at the same time a mature understanding of what it means to retain it, is extremely rare - and a person who has these qualities is likely to be able to contribute something really important to our thinking.

The complexities of adult life get in the way of the truth. The great philosophers have always been able to clear away the complexities and see simple distinctions - simple once they are stated, vastly difficult before. If we are to follow them we too must be childishly simple in our questions - and maturely wise in our replies..

And in the end, we must ask ourselves what we have given our children to take its place. And is it enough?
