Distance Function

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or function:

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”

“Every boy was supposed to come into the world equipped with a father whose prime function was to be our father and show us how to be men. He can escape us, but we can never escape him. Present or absent, dead or alive, real or imagined, our father is the main man in our masculinity.”
