. . . human kind cannot bear very much reality. T. S. ELIOT, Four Quartets When I was a little child, I lived in an old and somewhat rickety house by the sea. When the winter wind blew, the house would shake and tremble, and cold drafts would whistle through cracks in the walls.

I had great difficulty getting past that lion. Someone would have to hold my hand and take me up to bed, past the dreaded picture.
