Created half to rise, and half to fall;
great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hul’d;
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

Alexander Pope
An Essay on Man
(epistle ii)

AUTHOR’S NOTE

All the prescription drugs referred to in this novel are of the greatest benefit to people for whom they have been correctly prescribed. Nothing I have written is supposed to suggest otherwise.
