Chesterton believed in what he called "the intoxication of existence" and the invaluable, incomparable gift of life.
By the Babe Unborn
They should not hear a word from me
Of selfishness or scorn,
If only I could find the door,
If only I were born.
As Dale Alquist writes, "... babies remind us to be in awe of the world. We should never stop being in awe of babies. As Chesterton says, each time a baby is born, it is as if a whole new world has been created, because the world is being seen for the first time by a new soul as if it were the first day of creation; inside that little head, there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."
