This quote by Louise Bogan talks to the idea that childhood is a short lived and valuable time. It is a time of innocence and also delight, a time of exploration and exploration. Yet if youth is prolonged, it can no more continue to be a magical place. Instead, it can become a prison, a location of dullness as well as torpidity. It can end up being a place of stress as well as misery, a location of unfinished dreams as well as rushed hopes. It can come to be a location of anxiety as well as anxiousness, an area of solitude and isolation. In short, it can come to be a heck. This quote serves as a suggestion to treasure the time of youth, to maximize it while it lasts, and also to not take it for approved.
