There are a sort of knight-errants in the world, who, quite contrary to those in romance, are perpetually seeking adventures to bring virgins into distress, and to ruin innocence.

We can reply: Innocence suffers for you, if you wish it.

Then she took the heart and liver of the little girl, and she stewed them and brought them into the house for supper. The husband tasted them and shook his head. He said they tasted very strangely. She gave some to the little boy, but he would not eat. She tried to force him, but he refused, and ran out into the garden, and took up his little sister, and put her in a box, and buried the box under a rose-tree; and every day he went to the tree and wept, till his tears ran down on the box.
~ Joseph Jacobs
Preferisco raccontare il seguito al presente, il che renderà l'avventura più anodina, le toglierà quell'aura di sacro che conferiscono i tempi passati, dall'imperfetto al passato remoto: il presente è il tempo senza sorprese, un tempo ingenuo, il tempo in cui si vivono le cose come arrivano, ancora nuove e vive, è il tempo dell'infanzia, quello che mi si addiceva.
~ Joseph Joffo
