Epigraph: Nel suo profondo vidi che s'interna, / legato con amore in un volume, / cio che per l'universo si squaderna. / La forma universal di questo nodo / credo ch'io vidi, perche piu-di largo / dicendo questo, mi sento ch'io godo Dante - Paradiso XXXIII

Author's note: The pages of experience are scattered, as Dante noted, yet joined into a coherence which creates a sense of trilogy. Characters come and go, interwoven in intention but not by plot.
There are places in New Zealand called Milton, Dunedin and Burnham Camp but unfortunately none of these characters lived there, nor anywhere else, for that matter.
