    “Hath homely age th’ alluring beauty took
    From my poor cheek? Then he hath wasted it.
    Are my discourses dull? Barren my wit?
    If voluble and sharp discourse be marred,
    Unkindness blunts it more than marble hard.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    to solace the dryness at our hearts.
    I have seen
    the fountain springing out of the rock wall
    and you drinking there.”
