    “Joy is my name.”
    Sweet joy befall thee!”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “For a good book has this quality, that it is not merely a petrification of its author, but that once it has been tossed behind, like Deucalion’s little stone, it acquires a separate and vivid life of its own.”
    —Caroline Lejeune (1897–1973)
