On Children
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let yo
