Half Hours
By J. M. Barrie
“Barrie opens the door of fancy, so seldom set ajar. There lies his peculiar mastery. A tender, strange, exquisitely human fancy, half child, half spirit, that lends you its own wings, and lifts you, heavy foot or heavy heart, to rainbow heights. You cannot resist him, or, if you do, there is nothing but pity to give you, as some one who has never known youth and, worse, never will know it. And by this we do not mean youth of time, but its finer, rarer reality, that quality, indomitable, bright, and free, that lies at the heart of all high emprise and generous daring, and without which this old world would have dried up and withered away ages since.”
