Young Auden's only pastimes were reading books, memorizing lessons, and maintaining philosophical debates among highly educated guests. Not everyone dreams of such a childhood. But Auden seemed okay with everything. Until life gave her a chance to figure out whether a high degree of education was worth such sacrifices: after all, the girl never learned to ride a bicycle, play with dolls, she never made friends, did not go to the movies with them, and did not go on dates. It’s even more great when a young handsome guy helps you make the right choice.
