Ranald Bannerman’s Boyhood

CHAPTER II
11/15

What I saw there, I cannot tell.

I only know that a wind such as had never blown upon me in my waking hours, blew upon me now.

I did not care much for kisses then, for I had not learned how good they are; but somehow I fancied afterwards that the wind was made of my baby brother's kisses, and I began to love the little man who had lived only long enough to be our brother and get up above the sun and the moon and the stars by the ladder of sun-rays.

But this, I say, I thought afterwards.

Now all that I can remember of my dream is that I began to weep for very delight of something I have forgotten, and that I fell down the ladder into the room again and awoke, as one always does with a fall in a dream.
