       Dedication

      To Bob Shaw

       Epigraph

      Is it not possible – I often wonder – that these things we have felt with great intensity have an experience independent of our minds; are in fact still in existence? And if so, will it not be possible, in time, that some device will be invented by which we can tap them?…instead of remembering here a scene and there a sound, I shall fit a plug into the wall; and listen in to the past…

       – Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)
