What happens to men sometimes,' his father wants to tell Charlie, 'is that one day all at once they'll understand how much they love their children, as absolutely as a child gives away its own love, and the terrible terms that come with that,- and it proves too much to bear, and they'll not want it, any of it, and they'll back away in fear."
( Thomas Pynchon )
[ Mason & Dixon ]
