I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea,
And the silence of the city when it pauses,
And the silence of a man and a maid,
And the silence for which music alone finds the word.

Silence


In positions of power, silence is not an option.

MAGNUS LINKLATER

"In positions of power, silence is not an option", The Times, September 3, 2017


Silence is golden, so they say. Except that silence, in a moral dilemma, represents complicity, as it does in a general legal -- or in a criminal -- matter. We are thus, presuming that we are moral beings, faced with a binary choice: remain silent or speak out. Each choice has consequences, and the path followed, its own implications.

ALAIN TSCHUDIN

"When silence is not golden", News 24, August 6, 2017


So scream your heart out
You are the chosen
You got to show them
Silence is the enemy
Scream it out loud
We are the broken
We got to show them
Silence is the enemy

Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence.
To break the endless song.

Here may be the real secret of silence. It may lie in the quality of impression that we receive in our consciousness. If we allow ourselves to be impressed by ugly things, by thoughts of strife and bitterness and hate, there is no silence for us. But if we receive only impressions of beauty and love, then we need never be afraid. In ourselves we shall find the companionship of peace. We shall be constantly solaced with silence.

You pick my heart with a smile
Oh sweet Mary
Come inside for a while
