    “Parenting can be established as a time-share job, but mothers are less good “switching off” their parent identity and turning to something else. Many women envy the father’s ability to set clear boundaries between home and work, between being an on-duty and an off-duty parent.... Women work very hard to maintain a closeness to their child. Father’s value intimacy with a child, but often do not know how to work to maintain it.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “Between extremities
    Man runs his course;
    A brand, or flaming breath,
    Comes to destroy
    All those antinomies
    Of day and night....”
