For my parents and children, and in memory of my grandparents

They are more than leaves that cover the barren rock They bud the whitest eye, the pallidest sprout, New senses in the engendering of sense, The desire to be at the end of distances,
The body quickened and the mind in root. They bloom as a man loves, as he lives in love. They bear their fruit so that the year is known.
WALLACE STEVENS, "The Rock"
Watch the fruit and flower, for every plant is known by what it seeds.
DANTE, Purgatorio
