    “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.

    “A Bird came down the Walk—
    He did not know I saw—
    He bit an Angleworm in halves”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “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)
