Children Selecting Books In A Library
With beasts and gods, above, the wall is bright.
The child's head, bent to the book-colored shelves,
Is slow and sidelong and food-gathering,
Moving in blind grace ... yet from the mural, Care
The grey-eyed one, fishing the morning mist,
Seizes the baby hero by the hair
And whispers, in the tongue of gods and children,
Words of a doom as ecumenical as dawn
But blanched like dawn, with dew.
The children's cries
Are to men the cries of crickets, dense with warmth
-- But dip a finger into Fafnir, taste it,
And all their words are plain as chance and pain.
Their tales are full of sorcerers and ogres
Because their lives are: the capricious infinite
That, like parents, no one has yet escaped
Except by luck or magic; and since strength
And wit are useless, be kind or stupid, wait
Some power's gratitude, the tide of things.
Read meanwhile ... hunt among the shelves, as dogs do, grasses,
And find one cure for Everychild's diseases
Beginning: Once upon a time there was
A wolf that fed, a mouse that warned, a bear that rode
A boy. Us men, alas! wolves, mice, bears bore.
And yet wolves, mice, bears, children, gods and men
In slow preambulation up and down the shelves
Of the universe are seeking ... who knows except themselves?
What some escape to, some escape: if we find Swann's
Way better than our own, an trudge on at the back
Of the north wind to -- to -- somewhere east
Of the sun, west of the moon, it is because we live
By trading another's sorrow for our own; another's
Impossibilities, still unbelieved in, for our own ...
"I am myself still?" For a little while, forget:
The world's selves cure that short disease, myself,
And we see bending to us, dewy-eyed, the great
change, dear to all things not to themselves endeared.

Domestic service is possibly one of the most dangerous forms of child labour because working in private households renders the children are almost invisible and susceptible to abuse. It’s one of the most common forms of child employment. Children working as maids, child-minders, garden boys, and general house-helps are a familiar sight in Nepal. They often work in households, which are not related to their own. Many are left under the control of adults whose first concern is not their wellbeing, but their contribution to the household. The love and care all children ought to receive cannot be guaranteed. Such children are likely to be denied the chance of going to school. And if they’re over-worked, neglected or abused, they have no one to turn to and may feel isolated and trapped. EveryChild works with local partners to help improve the lives of child domestic workers. They aim to enable children to leave domestic work and return to their families as well as preventing many from leaving their rural homes for work.
