“Should the whole frame of nature round him break,In ruin and confusion hurled,He, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack,And stand secure amidst a falling world.”
“The breaking of so great a thing should makeA greater crack: the round worldShould have shook lions into civil streets,And citizens to their dens.”
“When a family breaks you don't hear the crack of the breaking. You don't hear a sound.”
“He lived in a dreamer's world of ivory keys and messy shirts, unconcerned with the people around him.”
“Titles were cheaper than dirt, and the riverlands were full of ruined castles, standing desolate amidst untended fields and burned villages.”
“May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.”
