And while I'm on the subject, Tolstoy's characters' faults are so epic and out of scale, they're as static as backdrops. Haruki Murakami
The representation of the tabernacle arose out of the temple of Solomon as its root, in dependence on the sacred ark, for which there is early testimony, and which in the time of David, and also before it, was sheltered by a tent. Julius Wellhausen
