Mark Twain

Salver 
Mark Twain 
Salute 
Salt 

Psalms 85:10
“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”  

 

 
 "and all the joyful world salutes the rising day"~~~Cowley
 
The salver as reconciliation
Historically, the salver existed to ensure: no poison; no hidden harm; no betrayal.
It is the object that removes danger so that relationship can be restored.

Psalm 85:10 is precisely about that:
the removal of enmity, the restoration of harmony.
