In some respects historical research is analogous with that of science. The bringing to light of factual material and the development of ideas is to a large extent cumulative.

Light is good company, when alone; I took my comfort where I found it, and the warmest yellow bulb in the living-room lamp had become a kind of radiant babysitter all its own.
I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made.
