Tanglewood Tales, The Wayside. Introductory., sentence 51

Children are now the only representatives of the men and women of that happy era; and therefore it is that we must raise the intellect and fancy to the level of childhood, in order to re-create the original myths.

Who acts: Children, Evil · What happens: be, re-create · To what, where: only representatives, original myths
