I’m listening to David Mitchell’s book The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and heard a lovely turn of phrase which set me thinking. He has his main character think “I wish spoken words could be captured and kept in a locket”. In olden days folks used to hold treasured portraits of their loved ones in a locket round their neck to have them close to their hearts, always in their memory, and to give them strength.
