"All real ballets, W. H. Auden wrote in his essay 'Ballet's Present Eden,' take place in a world where there is no memory and no anticipation; the joys of life are those of the immediate and eternal present. Auden, a friend of George Balanchine, was referring the 'The Nutcracker,' but he might as well ahve been talking about childhood."
