"Many writers, especially male ones, have told us that it is the decease of the father which opens the prospect of one's own end, and affords an unobstructed view of the undug but awaiting grave that says 'you're next.'

I was surprised by how calmly I took this, but also by how reluctant I was to mention it to my male contemporaries."
