rain heart soul
But tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble’s soul; his heart was waterproof.

Charles Dickens
rain wind house

Falsehood, like a drawing in perspective, will not bear to be examined in every point of view, because it is a good imitation of truth, as a perspective is of the reality, only in one.

Charles Caleb Colton
