Summary

This quote humorously reflects the different roles and expectations parents have for their children. It suggests that a mother's love is unconditional and effortlessly given, while a father's love must be earned and is often accompanied by higher expectations. It analogizes this dynamic to the political divide between Republicans (known for being more conservative) and Democrats (known for being more progressive), implying that the father represents conservatism and the mother represents liberalism in their roles as parents. Ultimately, it highlights the idea that fathers may have more stringent criteria for demonstrating deservingness of their love compared to mothers.

We reach in desperation beyond the fog, beyond the very stars, the voids of the universe are ransacked to justify the monster, and stamped with a human face.

Yes, the continuous flow would be tolerable if a man of our own sort--not anyone pompous or tearful--were caring for us up in the sky.
