"Infant Innocence"
"The grizzly bear is huge and wild;
He has devoured the infant child.
The infant child is unaware
It has been eaten by the bear."
A.E. Houseman
That's how it always happens, right? We don't know until it's too late.
Many times we are minding our own business, naive and innocent. And then it happens - what we had becomes something entirely different altogether and we are powerless to stop it. It envelops us, until we have been completely devoured. Innocence has been lost. And even after, we continue. We have no idea that the bear has us in its jaws.
