He once wrote pathetically: "The meshes of that fine network, the brain, are composed of such mere spinner's threads in me that when a long thought finds its way into them it buzzes, and twangs, and bustles about at such a rate as seems to threaten the whole Contexture."
"The Story of Our Hymns"
Ernest Edwin Ryden
All these are so interwoven that the attempt to separate them would tear to pieces the Contexture of the whole; and, if not entirely destroy, would very much depreciate the value of all the parts.
"Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America"
Edmund Burke
Do not dream that your letters of office, and your instructions, and your suspending clauses, are the things that hold together the great Contexture of the mysterious whole.
