       Epigraph

       ‘For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light’

      ST MATTHEW, Ch. 11, v.30

       ‘Lord, Thy most pointed pleasure take

       And stab my spirit broad awake;

       Or, Lord, if too obdurate I,

       Choose Thou, before that spirit die,

       A piercing pain, a killing sin,

       And to my dead heart run them in!’

      R. L. STEVENSON
