On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-three by John Milton How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing

my three and twentieth year! My hasting days fly on with full career, But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th. Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth, That I to manhood am arrived so near, And inward ripeness doth much less appear, That some more timely-happy spirits indu'th. Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure even To that same lot, however mean or high, Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven. All is, if I have grace to use it so, As ever in my great Task-master's eye.

pochemuha

Answer:

Liesel is referred to as a thief in the novel's first few chapters. In "The Book Thief," she is referred to as Liesel the Thief by everyone. Despite her inability to read, she claims that she stole the first book in order to keep a memento of her brother's funeral with her. You have committed theft, in my opinion, when you wrongfully take something that is not yours.
