[Starboard]

the lightest of lightweights, the emptiest empty suit, the merest shadow of a man

Someone once said the empty vessel makes the greatest sound.

[Salamander]

Here’s something scarier about “empty vessels”;

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12: 43-45)
