    “Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “Boys hide in lunging cubes
    Crouching to explode,
    Beyond the Atlantic skies,
    With cheerful cries
    Their barking tubes
    Upon the German toad.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “I stir my martinis with the screw,
    four-inch and stainless steel,
    and think of my hip where it lay
    for four years like a darkness.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
