Notes

  • 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'
