father: a parent who is male
I was surprised that »father« was not a keyword. Was this just by happenstance? Or is it somehow reflective of changes in our culture?
My brother was a father. That's how I first became an aunt. He was a good man and a good father to his son.
I was born at Blunderstone, in Suffolk, or 'there by', as they say in Scotland. I was a posthumous child. My father's eyes had closed upon the light of this world six months, when mine opened on it. There is something strange to me, even now, in the reflection that he never saw me; and something stranger yet in the shadowy remembrance that I have of my first childish associations with his white grave-stone in the churchyard, and of the indefinable compassion I used to feel for it lying out alone there in the dark night, when our little parlour was warm and bright with fire and candle, and the doors of our house were almost cruelly, it seemed to me sometimes bolted and locked against it.
The worst misfortune that can happen to a an ordinary man is to have an extraordinary father.

Paternity is a career imposed on you without any inquiry into your fitness.
Adlai Stevenson
Father
His worn gabardine jacket,
the one he wears when he rakes leaves
or carries firewood to the wood pile,
his jacket is around my shoulders.
It keeps the rain off
it smells of wood,
of smoke,
of Daddy.
I am comforted and protected
It never occurs to a boy of eighteen
that he will some day be as dumb as his father.
Every father expects his boy to do the things he wouldn't do when he was young.
