| "We have scarcely gotten home ... when our
children's sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all
day to do so. There is the bellyache and the burned-out basement

the toilets sweat, the body of our spouse is one cold shoulder and
the darkness of our bedroom is soon full of the fallen shadows of
our failures." |
