"Children are God's apostles, day by day sent forth preach of love and hope and peace."—Lowell. "Come to me, O, ye children! And whisper in my ear What the birds and winds are singing In your sunny atmosphere. Ye are better than all the ballads That were ever sung or said; For ye are living poems And all the rest are dead."—Longfellow. "And Nature, the old nurse, took The child upon her knee, Saying: 'Here is a story-book Thy Father has written for thee."—Longfellow.
