Geography and History of Childhood

Childhood flows from so many springs (sources) that it would be as futile to try to construct its geography as to write its history.

-Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Reverie, 112.

Many passages in Poetics of Reverie, such as the one above, remind me of Fanny and Alexander.
