The Cooper Review
affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age — they do not I
| believe except what they see — they think nothing c:n be $
| which is not comprehensible by their little minds." jjj
3 "All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s?
y are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, J
| an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world »
g about him, as measured by the intelligence cspabls of grasp- w
g ing the whole of truth and knowledge.” g
3 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." g
§ "He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion g
g exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its g
$ highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if g
g there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there li
| were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no 8
« poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should |
w have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal ^
| light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.” |

ri "Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe j8
| in fairies!" g
g "You might get your pap3 to hire men to watch in all the|
g chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if g
I they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that g
& prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus — the most real things in the g
| world are those neither children nor men can see.” g
| "Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, g
? but that’s no proof that they are not there — nobody can con-1
yj ceive or irnsgins 3l! the wonders thst 3re unseen 3nd unseesble
| in the world." |
g "You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the |
g noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which |
g not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the g
g strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, g
g fancy poetry, love, romance, can push aside the curtain and g
g view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond." g
8 "Is it all real? — ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing g
| else real and abiding." g
| "No Santa Claus! Thank God! — he lives, and he lives forever |
| — a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years |
We hope your joys ore many and your troubles fern
A uery Merry Christmas from all of us to you!
