Everything , at first , required the slow , loving touch of our tongues and our hands. Long before , we could speak , we knew the comfort of our mother's warm body , the delightful feel of a furry toy . Smooth and rough surfaces ,things cold and hot surprised and charmed us. Touch by touch we built up our store of tactile impressions , keenly sensed in minute detail.
By learning this passage ,I really hope all of you can manage to regain your sense of wonder!

Later on , this tactile sensing was transferred to our eyes , and through the sense of vision we were able to "feel“ things beyond the grasp of our hands . This kind of seeing was not the rapid sophisticated eye-sweep of the efficient fact-finding adult . This kind of seeing was a slow ,uncritical examination in depth .The more we looked , the more lovely and surprising things appeared , until we were pervaded by that wordless thrill which is the sense of wonder.

As the author said when we were very young we were all artists(we are free from preconceived ideas and eager to obtain a detailed impression of things through touch or vision). We all came into this world with the doors of perception wide open . But when we grow up, we must have lost something . I think it is really a pity !
