Oddly similar

From Madame Bovary:

Human speech is like a cracked pot on which we beat out rhythms for bears to dance to when we are striving to make music that will wring tears from the stars.

From Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead:

Hollow protestations […] vanishing into the thin unpopulated air. We ransomed our dignity to the clouds, and the uncomprehending birds listened.
