The author's comments:
In the china cabinet the lonley antique sits and watches all the toys play. They soar through the sky, race, and dance, while all the little antique can do is collect dust. Then at night the toy is wrapped tightly in the hands of the precious child warm and safe in bed. The anique watches through the glass and freezes at night, so that its beauty can stay suspended in time. The antique dreams that its beauty would wash away and that it would become flimbsy and soft just to be cherished and loved.
