Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of their children threatening to run away from home can act as a source of motivation for some parents. In moments of frustration or exhaustion, the thought that their children's desire to leave may signal a form of rebellion or independence can provide the necessary incentive for parents to keep pushing forward in their parenting journey. It highlights the complex dynamics between parents and children, where even moments of conflict can hold underlying sentiments that keep familial bonds intact.

The Upholder of the Cycles which supports the whole of Life,

The Upholder of the Cycles which supports the whole of Life, is water. In every drop of water dwells the Godhead, whom we all serve; there also dwells Life, the Soul of the First substance - Water - whose boundaries and banks are the capillaries that guide it and in which it circulates. More energy is encapsulated in every drop of good spring water than an average-sized PowerStation is presently able to produce.

He showed, in a few words, that it is not sufficient to throw together a few incidents that are to be met with in every romance, and that to dazzle the spectator the thought should be new, without being farfetched; frequently sublime, but always natural; the author should have a thorough knowledge of the human heart and make it speak properly; he should be a complete poet, without showing an affectation of it in any of the characters of his piece; he should be a perfect master of his language, speak it with all its pruity and with the utmost harmony, and yet so as not to make the sense a slave to the rhyme. Whoever, added he, neglects any one of these rules, though he may write two or three tragedies with tolerable success, will never be reckoned in the number of good authors.
