Epigraph:
This life is a hospital in which each sick man
is possessed by a desire to change beds.
One would prefer to suffer by the stove.
Another believes he would recover if he sat by the window.
I think I would be happy in that place I happen not to be, and
this question of moving house is the subject of a perpetual
dialogue I have with my soul.
- Baudelaire, 'Anywhere Out of This World'
