Personally, I would just as soon leave it unelucidated. There are
certain moods in which I do not want such things as nature, and love,
and beauty, and self-sacrifice explained. It is enough for me that they
are, and that I have been permitted to enjoy them.

And although I know that the Little People are not necessarily wearing
gauze wings and white frocks and stars in their hair, as I pictured
them in my first childhood, I still like to think that even in the
brooks something is singing, something rejoicing, something giving
thanks for the gift of life.
