I don't think I've ever heard such an evocative rendering of childhood. The mixture of fairytale, memory and over-vivid, almost feverish imagery.

And

no smart looking geese in bonnets dance with pigs in high button trousers no milk pail for the farmer's daughter no merry towns of sweet walled houses

means, to me at least, that none of it exists.
