Uttered Remarks

Oct 22

“When they found voice to speak, it was, at first, only to utter remarks and inquiries such as any two acquaintances might have made, about the gloomy sky, the threatening storm, and, next, the health of each. Thus they went onward, not boldly, but step by step, into the themes that were brooding deepest in their hearts.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne; The Scarlet Letter, p. 174
