Quote by Peter Mullan

As a dad I'm emotionally dedicated but I'm not 'figuring out their life plans'. But of course as I'm telling them about the rights of wrongs I'm thinking back to what I was like at their age.

As a dad I'm emotionally dedicated but I'm not 'figuring out

Summary

This quote highlights the speaker's role as a father. While the speaker is emotionally dedicated to their children, they acknowledge that they do not have the responsibility of shaping their children's life plans. Nevertheless, when advising their children on what is right or wrong, the speaker draws from their own experiences and reflects on their own behavior during their children's age. This suggests that the speaker is using their past as a reference to guide their children, hoping to provide valuable insights from their personal journey without actively forcing their own ambitions onto their kids.

There's no artist in this world that doesn't enjoy the dream that if they have bad reviews now, the story of Keats can redeem them, in their fantasy or imagination, in the future. I think Keats' poem 'Endymion' is a really difficult poem, and I'm not surprised that a lot of people pulled it apart in a way.
