"The empty vessel makes the greatest sound”

"He would drown the stage with tears,
And cleave the general ear with horrid speech,
Make mad the guilty, and appal the free,
Confound the ignorant, and amaze, indeed,
The very faculties of eyes and ears."

...er, yes.

I actually bought this on a 7" single when I was a wee lad.

“A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.” - Seneca
