—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings.

—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“His mind was strong and clear, his will was unwavering, his convictions were uncompromising, his imagination was powerful enough to invest all plans of national policy with a poetic charm.”

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
