NOTE ON THE PICTURES
When we began to do these pictures we decided that each of us was to put her (or his) name to her own works of art. But this was hopeless. Everybody wanted to help with every picture, even passing natives who saw what we were doing. So we had to leave all names out except in the case of Roger’s two pictures which anybody would know anyhow.

CHAPTER I
QUAYSIDE
He turns his head, but in his ear
The steady trade-winds run,
And in his eye the endless waves
Ride on into the sun.
