    Anyone who has a child today should train him to be either a physicist or a ballet dancer. Then he’ll escape.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    A new one comes on with the same lines,
    like large white growths, in his mouth.
    The dancers come on from the wings,
    perfectly mated.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
