  • Dedication: "For my mother, my brother and my sister, who know something of the roads I have travelled."
  • Epigraph: "A man's character is his fate." - Heraclitus, On the Universe.

"And what the dead had no speech for, when living
They can tell you, being dead: the communication
Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living." - T.S.Eliot, Little Gidding.
