empty glass
"And when I did my first solo album, I called it 'Empty Glass', 'cause of this idea that when you go to the tavern -- which is to God, you know -- and you ask for His love -- He's the bartender, you know -- and He gives you a drink, and what you have to give Him is an empty glass. You know there's no point giving Him your heart if it's full already; there's no point going to God if your heart's full of Doris." Pete Townshend, from the film 'The Who: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival'
Empty glass concept derived from the work of the Persian poet Hafiz.
