Solo Voice

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or voice:

    All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)

    I
    Am found.
    O let him
    Scald me and drown
    Me in his world’s wound.
    His lightning answers my
    Cry. My voice burns in his hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
