    “The U.S. is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father. Today an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.”
    —David Blankenhorn (20th century)

    “By day thy warning ringing bell to sound its notes,
    By night thy silent signal lamps to swing.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
