Notes

  • Dedication: to Fred Hollows, Professor of Opthalmology, Prince of Wales Hospital (p.6)

  • Epigraphs:
    The best lines of verse say things with the greatest possible concision and precision. Good surgery is the same. (Fred Hollows, Fred Hollows : An Updated Autobiography, p.181)

    All one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry. (Flaubert, in a letter Colet, 14 August 1853)
