Notes

  • Dedication: To my Mother and Father.
  • Epigraph:

    Success is counted sweetest

    By those who ne'er succeed.

    To comprehend a nectar

    Requires sorest need.

    Not one of all the purple host

    Who took the flag today

    Can tell the definition,

    So, clear, of victory,

    As he, defeated, dying,

    On whose forbidden ear

    The distant strains of triumph

    Break, agonised and clear.

    Emily Dickinson
