• One night I dreamed I was locked in my Father's watch
  With Ptolemy and twenty-one ruby stars
  Mounted on spheres and the Primum Mobile
  Coiled and gleaming to the end of space
  And the notched spheres eating each other's rinds
  To the last tooth of time, and the case closed.

There were old tennis-courts - the Tudor kind where Henry VIII was said to have played; and gardens filled with winter heather, jasmine and yellow chrysanthemums. [...] So that first night together was spent in the ancient bedroom with the tiny leaded paned windows, through which shafts of moonlight touched the room with a dreamlike radiance [...]

Everybody has marks on their bodies from years of living- a trail of life left on them. Evidence of all the adventures and sleepless nights and practical jokes and heartbreaks that had made them who they are.
