Epigraph (#ulink_88554aa4-2030-57e4-bd10-6f6eb1ed541d)

God gives all men all earth to love,

But since man’s heart is small,

Ordains for each one spot shall prove

Beloved over all.

Each to his choice, and I rejoice

The lot has fallen to me

In a fair ground – in a fair ground –

Yea, Sussex by the sea!
