For Tony Boucher and Mick McComas who liked this story



What he will he does, and does so much
That proof is call'd impossibility.
--TROlLUS AND CRESSIDA


It is always the puzzle of the nature of
time that brings our thoughts to a stand-
still. And if time is so fundamental that
an understanding of its true nature is for
ever beyond our reach, then so also in all
probability is a decision in the age-long
controversy between determination and
free will.
--THE MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE
By James Jeans
