“A full vessel is inaudible.
§
Every cliff has a glass edge,
every chasm a covering cloud.
Every lining has a hidden needle.
§
Many a sickle rakes the stubble.
§
A rip in space needs a stitch in time.
§
Time’s flies wait to feast on no man.
§
Art longs for the brevity of life.
§
Never a nail in the blacksmith’s forge,
nor a pen in the poet’s pocket.
§
Home is where the heart can’t live.
§
All Rome leads to are roads.
§
For the deep well: a long cord and a light bucket.
§
Where there’s a will, there’s a wall.”– Jamie McKendrick, “Stricken Proverbs”.
