“Marriage is the clue to human life, but there is no marriage apart from the wheeling sun and the nodding earth, from the straying of the planets and the magnificence of the fixed stars.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart.
But the saying is true: “The empty vessel makes the greatest
sound.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
