silence
“To restore silence is the role of objects.”
“Even crickets are now silent for me, for Cambridge this evening is silent.”
“Yet now I cannot sing out loud; peace is my farewell music.”
“We don’t need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do’s and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence.”
“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body.”
