Reflections on childhood longing and vanity in prose
A nostalgic, stream of consciousness piece recalling childhood treasures and fears. The narrator contrasts simple joys like maple sugar and carpet sewing with regrets and curiosities from youth, noting failed fashions, first loves, and the ache of growing up. It ends with wry musings on vanity and genius signs.
