Notes

Dedication: For Billi, who would tell this story differently; and Leonardo, who would know whose version was whose, and love them both.
Epigraph:

Her breast is fit for pearls,

But I was not a "Diver' -

Her brow is fit for thrones

But I have not a crest

Her heart is fit for home -

I - a sparrow - build there

Sweet twigs and twine

My perennial nest.

Emily Dickinson, a love poem to Susie Gilbert.
Epigraph:

Give me a firm place to stand and I will move the earth.

Archimedes
