All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon All night has the casement jessamine stirred To the dancers dancing in tune Till a silence fell with the waking bird, And a hush with the setting moon. (Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon All night has the casement jessamine stirred To the dancers dancing in tune Till a silence fell with the waking bird, And a hush with the setting moon.

When you're a child, the most important thing is to be able to live a life of comfort. You want to be sure that the moon goes up at night and the sun comes up in the morning and dad comes home from work.

Keegan-Michael Key

The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Rabindranath Tagore

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

John Cage

To see the earth as we now see it, small and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the unending night ~ brothers who see now they are truly brothers.
