    With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Far, far away,
    Dere’s where my heart is turning ebber,
    Dere’s where de old folks stay.
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
