Probe Lost

Famous quotes containing the words probe and/or lost:

    The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,... One of the truths to be faced by parents during this period is that they cannot do the work of living and relating for their children. They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    Alice grown lazy, mammoth but not fat,
    Declines upon her lost and twilight age;
    Above in the dozing leaves the grinning cat
    Quivers forever with his abstract rage....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
