As a good wine must be kept in a good cask, so a wholesome body is the proper foundation for a well-appointed inner ground.
Johannes Tauler
At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle; for at the bottom the savings comes too late.
Hesiod
Hence a ship is said to be tight, when her planks are so compact and solid as to prevent the entrance of the water in which she is immersed: and a cask is called tight, when the staves are so close that none of the liquid contained therein can issue through or between them.
William Falconer
