She is sitting outside the house, thinking of you. Go now. From here on, you won’t be able to see me.’ The child went to the village, but it looked strange and unfamiliar to her. In among the houses she knew, there were others she had never seen before; the trees looked different, and there was no trace of damage the enemy had done. All was peaceful, the grain waved in the breeze, the meadows were green, the trees were laden with fruit. But she had no trouble recognizing her mother’s house, and when she came close, she saw an old, old woman with bowed head, sitting on the bench outside the door, enjoying the last rays of the evening sun that hung low over the forest. The old woman looked up, and when she saw the little girl she cried out in joyful amazement. ‘Ah, dear child. God has granted my last wish, to see you once again before I die.’ She kissed her and pressed her to her heart. And then the little girl heard that she had spent thirty years with Saint Joseph in the forest, though to her it had seemed like three days. All the fear and misery her mother had suffered during the great war had passed her by, and her whole life had been just one joyful moment. Her mother had thought wild beasts had torn her to pieces years ago, and yet deep in her heart she had hoped to catch at least a glimpse of her just as she was when she went away. And when she looked up, there stood the dear child, wearing the same little dress.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maurice Sendak" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/maurice-sendak/at-the-end-of-the-forest-the-guardian-angel-pointed-to-the-village/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e7/maurice-sendak-1273_children_at-the-end-of-the-forest-the-guardian-an_1842294.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e7/maurice-sendak-1273_children_at-the-end-of-the-forest-the-guardian-an_1842294.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e7/maurice-sendak-1273_children_at-the-end-of-the-forest-the-guardian-an_1842294.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“At the end of the forest the guardian angel pointed to the village and said: ‘There you will find your…” — Maurice Sendak", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-suffered/maurice-sendak/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-suffered/maurice-sendak/", "name": "Mother Suffered Quotes by Maurice Sendak", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mother-suffered/maurice-sendak/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e7/maurice-sendak-1273_children_at-the-end-of-the-forest-the-guardian-an_1842294.jpg" }, "description": "1 Mother Suffered quotes by Maurice Sendak.
