And the Autobiography of a super tramp - can't remember who by...
What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass,No time to see, in broad day light,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.No time to turn at beauty's glanceAnd watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.
I suppose The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks would also qualify as a coming of age novel.
Good one. Would love to make a film version of that (if were not painfully lacking in the cash, contacts, skills etc, etc).
