[Author's note]: The Black Dog of clinical depression was once called the sin of accidie, and known to 'attack the monk at the fourth hour'. Whatever the name, it occupies a world of such chilling isolation that its reality rests far beyond the imagination of anyone who doesn't know the landscape. I do, having lived there for so long it seems like home. To those friends who have, over the years, bothered to visit without worrying about the stony path and heavy gate, these essays, stories and poems are gratefully dedicated.
