not see Santa Claus coming: down, what would that prove?, Nobody, sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus —the most real things in the world are those neither children nor men can see. »
"Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,-but that’s no proof that they are not there—nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the "world.
‘‘'You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.
“In it all real?—ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
“No Santa Claus! Thank God! —he lives, and he lives forever —a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
