P. L. Travers Quote

[Jane] was watching Mrs. Corry splashing the glue on the sky and Mary Poppins sticking on the star. "What I want to know," said Jane, "is this: Are the stars gold paper or is the gold paper stars?" There was no reply to her question and she did not expect one. She knew that only someone very much wiser than Michael could give her the right answer.
