" "I am my father's father,
You are your children's guilt. In history's pity and terror
The child is Aeneas again; Troy is in the nursery,
The rocking horse is on fire. Child labor! The child must carry
His fathers on his back.

Additional quotes by Delmore Schwartz
In this our life there are no beginnings but only departures entitled beginnings, wreathed in the formal emotions thought to be appropriate and often forced.
