`They build their houses with sand and they play with empty shells.

With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on

the vast deep. Children have their play on the seashore of worlds. They

know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl fishers

dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather

pebbles and scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures,

they know not how to cast nets.'

W.B. YEATS September 1912
