    There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.
