THERE
is an old kitchen somewhere in the past, and an old-fashioned fire-place (1) therein, with its smooth old jambs of
stone, smooth with many knives that have been sharpened there; smooth with many
little fingers that have clung there. There are andirons with rings in the top, (2) wherein many temples of flame have been
builded with spires and turrets of crimson. There is a broad, worn hearth; broad
enough for three generations to cluster on, worn by feet that have been torn
and bleeding by the way, or been made “beautiful, ” and walked upon floors of
tesselated gold. There are tongs in the corner,
(3) wherewith we grasped a coal, and “blowing for a little life, ” lighted
our first candle; there is a shovel, (4) wherewith
were drawn forth the glowing embers, in which we saw our first fancies and
dreamed our first dreams; the shovel (5) with
which we stirred the logs, until the sparks rushed up the chimney as if a
forge was in blast below, and wished we had so many lambs, or so many marbles,
or so many somethings that we coveted; and so it was that we wished our first
wishes.
