There is such a place as fairyland -

but only children can find the way to it.

And they do not know it is fairyland 

until they have grown so old that they forget the way.

Only a few who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again.

They, and only they, can bring us tidings from the dear country where we once sojourned.

The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers;

but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland.

~ Montgomery, The Story Girl
