Epigraph

In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself
within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.
Ah, how hard a thing it is to tell what a wild,
and rough, and stubborn wood this was,
which in my thought renews the fear!
- Dante
The Divine Comedy

Harmony, like a following breeze
at sea, is the exception.
Harvey Oxenhorn
Tuning the Rig

Dedication

To my mother and father,
with gratitude.

First words

The accused man, Kabuo Miyamoto, sat proudly upright with a rigid grace, his palms placed softly on the defendant's table - the posture of a man who has detached himself insofar as this is possible at his own trial.
