"The Dramatic Opposites in Fatherhood"
Including--
Mind and Fathers by Eli Siegel:

“A father is most often in a dilemma. He wants to be severe; at the same time he wants to be a pal....The first thing a father has to see is that when he's nice to the child, and when he's severe, he should be the same person.”

A Son Can See--Looking at the Rembrandt portrait Man with the Golden Helmet, Steve Weiner writes:

“I did not see my father as a mingling of dignity and uncertainty, or see that he himself could not make sense of these opposites. Aesthetic Realism taught me that the true way of seeing Sam Weiner is the way an artist would see him. Consider this man's thoughtful, stern face and glowing helmet….”
