| Epigraph |
She can overcast the night and cloud the moon,
and make the Devil obedient to her croon.
At midnight hours over the kirkyard she raves,
Digging unchristened weans out of their graves;
Boils up their livers in a warlock's pow,
Runs widdershins about the hemlocks low;
And seven times does her prayers backwards pray,
Then, mixed with venom of black toads and snakes,
Of this unsousy pictures oft she makes
Of anyone she hates -- and makes them expire
With cruel and racking pains afore a fire:
Stuck full of pins the devilish pictures melt;
The pain by folks they represent is felt
Whilst she and her cat sit howling in her yard.
-- Allan Ramsay,
Seventeenth-century Scottish poet  | |

| Dedication |
for Binny and Nick--
blood-kin and soul-kin
in memory of all the imaginary worlds
we created and lived in,
and thanks for a lifetime of
love and support.

Finn brushed away the crust of snow and sat in the embrasure of the battlement, her legs hanging out. | |
