There is within every human being a deep well of thinking over which a heavy iron lid is kept clamped.

Sherwood Anderson

In every human body there is a great well of silent thinking always going on…. There is a deposit of thoughts, of unexpressed emotions…. There is a heavy iron lid clamped over the mouth of the well. When the lid is safely in place one gets on all right…. Sometimes at night, in dreams, the lid trembles
