Woodman Town

Famous quotes containing the words woodman and/or town:

    Living by basic good-mothering guidelines enables a mom to blend the responsibilities of parenthood with its joys; to know when to stand her ground and when to be flexible; and to absorb the lessons of the parenting gurus while also trusting her inner voice when it reasons that another cookie isn’t worth fighting over, or that her child won’t suffer irreparable trauma if, once in a while, Mom puts her own needs first.
    —Sue Woodman (20th century)

    Tiresome heart, forever living and dying,
    House without air, I leave you and lock your door.
    Wild swans, come over the town, come over
    The town again, trailing your legs and crying!
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
