Notes

  • Dedication: For my mother who kept all my letters.
  • Epigraph: There's something in a flying horse, There's something in a huge balloon: But through the clouds, I'll never float Until I have a little boat ... Rocking and roaring like a sea; The noise of danger's in your ears, And ye have all a thousand fears Both for my little boat and me! 'Peter Bell' William Wordsworth, 1819
