Notes

  • Epigraph:

    'So tedious is this day,

    As is the night before some festival

    To an impatient child, that hath new robes,

    And may not wear them.'

    Shakespeare

    'Thus they in mutual accusation spent

    The fruitless hours, but neither self-condemning;

    And of their vain contest appeared no end.'

    Milton
