    “How can one explain all the time and thought that goes into raising a child, all the opportunities for mistakes, all the chances to recover and try again? How does one break the news that nothing permanent can be formed in an instant—children are not weaned, potty trained, taught manners, introduced to civilization in one or two tries—as everyone imagined.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “She went her unremembering way,
    She went and left in me
    The pang of all the partings gone,
    And partings yet to be.”
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
