Epigraph |
Sometimes an old photograph, and old friend, an old letter will remind you that you are not who you once were, for the person who dwelt among them, valued this, chose that, wrote thus, no longer exists. Without noticing it you have traversed a great distance; the strange has become familiar and familiar if not strange at least awkward or uncomfortable. Rebecca Solnit "The Blue of Distance" A Field Guide to Getting Lost  | |
|
Dedication |
This tale is inscribed to the Lord John Russell in remembrance of many public services and private kindnesses  For Jodi Reamer, slayer of beasts  | |

First words |
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.  For a long time there is only darkness and the sound of distant thunder and the hazy sensation of falling.  | |

Quotations |
It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.  | |
