Quotes

Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we may look into the most holy place; that removeth the cover of the well, that we may come by the water.
- "The Translators to the Reader", King James Version of the Bible (1611) p. 10
