Dedication: For Janet and the Toads
Epigraph: On the sea, the ocean, on the isle of Bouyan, live three brothers, the Winds: one is of the West, the second of the North, the third of the East. Blow, ye winds, blow unbearable sadness to the woman I name, so that she cannot live a single day, a single hour without thinking of me! - Slavic Invocation
