Of April, you or some girl,
The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.”

“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same.

—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
