This paper will serve instead of a confidential friend into whose ear I might pour forth the overflowings of my heart.

Anne Bronte

Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones; Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.
William Shakespeare

They spread out, crisscrossed, and formed a smooth gloss on the old, worn face.
