Excerpt from The Children of the Poets: An Anthology From English and American Writers of Three Centuries Tales from Arabia describe the wise magician whose cunning ear, held close to the ground in the hot heart of an African desert, could detect the pattering of children's feet on the pavement of Bagdad, discriminating voice from voice in the shouts that accompanied their games. It is harder for us to find, throughout ancient literature, many echoes of youthful laughter or glimpses of youthful smiles. The instinct that links parent to child must always have been one of the best marked sentiments in primitive, as it is in modern writings, but the child by itself, as a study for the artist, either in words or in plastic and graphic reproductive processes, is an invention of the moderns.
