How canst thou bear This noise of people this sultry air? "Thou alone of the feathered race Dost look unscared on the human face; Thou alone, with a wing to flee, Dost love with man in his haunts to be; And the 'gentle dove' Has become a name for trust and love. "A holy gift is thine, sweet bird! Thou'rt named with childhood's earliest word!
"The tear down childhood's check that flows Is like the dew-drop on the rose; When next the summer breeze comes by, And waves the bush, the flower is dry." Scott. Never allow a child to be teased; it spoils his temper. If he be in a cross humour take no notice of it, but divert his attention to some pleasing object. This may be done without spoiling him.
Take the true advice of a devoted friend," and she put her hand kindly on his arm, "let us both forget this morning's scene let us only remember our childhood's friendship; think, Adolphe, how much you have to do for your King and your country, and do hot damp your glorious exertion by fostering a silly passion. Am not I the same to you as a sister?
The long bare dormitory filled with the children the fatherless and motherless children we have always with us. Soon each narrow cot held its asylum number; the many heads, golden, brown, or black, busied all of them with childhood's queer unanchored thoughts, were pillowed in safety for another night. And without the snow continued to fall upon the great city.
And for such reconstruction memory furnishes me with more detailed guidance than is generally at the disposal of restorers; the pictures which it has preserved perhaps the last surviving in the world to-day, and soon to follow the rest into oblivion of what Combray looked like in my childhood's days; pictures which, simply because it was the old Combray that traced their outlines upon my mind before it vanished, are as moving if I may compare a humble landscape with those glorious works, reproductions of which my grandmother was so fond of bestowing on me as those old engravings of the 'Cenacolo, or that painting by Gentile Bellini, in which one sees, in a state in which they no longer exist, the masterpiece of Leonardo and the portico of Saint Mark's.

And he was really going there! He could scarcely believe in his good fortune. If he could have known all that was to befall him there, he might not have been so eager to go. But he was only a little eight-year-old boy, and childhood's dreams are rosy. Once arrived at the Cantorei, Josef plunged into his studies with great fervor, and his progress was most rapid.
Esock Mayall told her frankly that he neither knew the name or locality of the lake she described, but added, "If you would consent to be my wife and go with me to my forest home, I will endeavor to learn from your captors the name and locality, and take you back to the home of your childhood, once more to ramble on the beautiful shores where you had roamed in childhood's sunny days."
All these mute tokens of his approaching departure struck upon his excited feelings with a suddenness that overpowered him. "And it is thus thus," said he aloud, "that I am to leave, for the first time, my childhood's home." He threw himself on his chair, and covering his face with his hands, burst, fairly subdued and unmanned, into a paroxysm of tears.
Let me have this deed to give to those who have come to see me here, and thus when I return with them to my beloved childhood's home, I shall be witness to the joy and gladness which such a kingly boon will convey. Grant me this only this, gentle King, and you will grant me all my heart desires!"
