To my father, Randolph Seville Charlton, M.D.,
for many books read aloud and lessons in survival
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
— WERNER HERZOG
Where there is a monster, there is a miracle.
— OGDEN NASH
Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
— WILLIAM BLAKE
