DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to Dr. R. Lane of the University of Durham for
sharing with me his great expertise and for his encouragement, to my wife,
Viv, and stepsons, Richard and Matthew, for being so patient, to a warm and
good person, Julian Marko, who died on February 28th. 1994, for his genuine
friendship, and to my father, Hugh, for many reasons.




Imperturbable form is the outward sign
of nature's utter consonance.
Only our spectral liberty
imparts a sense of dissonance.
Whence this disharmony? How did it arise?
In the general chorus, why this solo refrain?
Why do our souls not sing like the sea
and why must the thinking reed complain?
(The sea is harmony. F. Tyutchev)


..... the great figures in imaginative literature are perpetually
contemporary... they never become History. Ancient or modern, they live in
