Dedication: for my Wantok
-
Epigraph: In his loneliness and fixedness he yearneth towards the journeying Moon, and the stars that still sojourn, yet still move onward; and every where the blue sky belongs to them, and is their appointed rest, and their native country and their own natural homes, which they enter unannounced, as lords that are certainly expected and yet there is silent joy at their arrival. S. T. Coleridge, margin note to the 'Rhime of the Ancient Mariner', 1797.
