      This book is dedicated to all my girlfriends, but most

      especially Qubra, who never minded that I regularly swiped her lunch back at school…

      With rue my heart is laden For golden friends I had, For many a rose-lipt maiden And many a lightfoot lad. By brooks too broad for leaping The lightfoot lads are laid; The rose-lipt girls are sleeping In fields where roses fade.

      A.E. Housman
