The art of children is in non-realization. How blessed is that deluded age, when life is negated* by the absence of sex, and reality is negated by the act of playing, unreal things standing in for real ones!
If I could only go back to being a child and remain one for ever, oblivious to the values that men attach to things and the relations they establish between them!
