The Glory of Motherhood

The Bayly brothers post a wonderful link dedicated to the mothers of our children. Who do such a marvelous work. The glory of motherhood... (ht: By David & Tim Bayly) To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labours, and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, cakes and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can imagine how this can exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it.
