But to go to school in a summer morn, O! It drives all joy away; Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day In sighing and dismay.

William Blake
But to go to school in a summer morn, O!...
But to go to school in a summer morn, O!...
But to go to school in a summer morn, O!...
But to go to school in a summer morn, O!...
About This Quote

Take a look at the picture to the left. It's a grade school classroom in the summer, and the children are all excited about learning. But there is one girl who can't even bring herself to sit down with all of the other kids. She's so tired of being made fun of that she feels miserable just thinking about it.

This little girl is constantly being made fun of, which makes her hate being part of the group. She's constantly being pushed around by other children, who always have something to say about her. Since she's constantly being made fun of, she hates having to go to school with everyone else.

Studying is just too painful for her. The only thing that makes her happy is when it's time for recess, because then she gets to go outside and be alone in the sunshine. But when she has to go back inside, she cries because she wishes it were time for recess already.
