Thornton WilderI want you to try and remember what it was like to have been very young. And particularly the days when you were first in love; when you were like a person sleepwalking, and you didnโt quite see the street you were in, and didnโt quite hear everything that was said to you. Youโre just a little bit crazy. Will you remember that, please?
