Baby Farmers

Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or farmers:

    “The myths about what we’re supposed to feel as new mothers run strong and deep. . . . While joy and elation are surely present after a new baby has entered our lives, it is also within the realm of possibility that other feelings might crop up: neediness, fear, ambivalence, anger.”
    —Sally Placksin (20th century)

    “Boys finding for the first time their loins filled with heart’s
    blood
    Widowed farmers whose hands float under light covers to find
    themselves
    Arisen at sunrise”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)
