can anyone rephrase this the way a seven year old may actually say it:
to five little stone lozenges....which...were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine---who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle--i am indebted for a belief i religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and have never taken them out in this state of existence.
