A child's perspective always creates new possibilities for seeing and understanding. In nineteenth century England, Lord Byron produced a popular installment poem for the newspaper titled, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.

It created many opportunities for noting the ironic and idiotic in the world. Ultimately, most readers found their own blind spots exposed by the commentary on some particular locale so that the work came to enjoy an almost prophetic quality.
