Transition


This tale is of a woman who's "freedom of her childhood grew dearer and sweeter as she realized that it must slip away," to whom, "womanhood seemed more and more solemn and weighty" as it came near. The girl wakes early in the morning, and seeks solace in nature. As she follows a brook, the brook becomes a river, and in turn that river transforms into an ocean, and the girl finds that just as the river has come to the sea, the child must become a woman.
