Still waters are deep
Explanation:
Inversarea unui proverb cunoscut. Asa cum a fost denaturat, mi se pare destul de lipsit de sens, pt. ca nu vad de ce izvoarele adanci ar fi limpezi si care anume ar fi alegoria. Adica o gandire "adanca" e "limpede"??

Proverbul originar suna "apele linistite sunt adanci", care se refera la o persoana care nu vorbeste mult sau nu atrage atentia, si care are o intelepciune deosebita.
