Our pastime and our happiness will grow.

en He wanted to make a picture for children. So I read a lot of stuff and he read a lot of stuff. . . .

That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood /for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.
  Graham Greene
