My mother adored "The Prophet" (I'm sure she never read any other poets). She often referred to his quote, "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself......their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow." Despite her fondness for this quote, she was a typical Jewish mother with a rather suffocating way of loving, yea unto our adulthood. : )
