Dedication: To my wife Jenny Stewart
-
Epigraph:
-at early morn
Court the fresh air, explore the heath and woods;
And, leaving it to others to foretell,
By calculations sage, the ebb and flow
Of tides, and when the moon will be eclipsed,
Do you, for your own benefit, construct
A calendar of flowers, plucked as they blow
where heath abides, and cheerfulness, and peace.
-- William Wordsworth, The Excursion. VI, 168-75
