This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a poet named Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In this poem, the poet asks the reader to imagine a world in which he would be happy to be alive. He asks the poet to imagine that he were a child and that he would grow up to be one of the most important people in the world. The poem ends with the poem's title, "Auld Lang Syne," which means "I shall be happy," or "I will be happy."
