    Silence<br />
    <br />
    There are some qualities-some incorporate things,<br />
    That have a double life, which thus is made<br />
    A type of that twin entity which springs<br />
    From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.<br />
    There is a twofold Silence-sea and shore-<br />
    Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,<br />
    Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces,<br />
    Some human memories and tearful lore,<br />
    Render him terrorless: his name's "No More."<br />
    He is the corporate Silence: dread him not!<br />
    No power hath he of evil himself;<br />
    But should some urgent fate (untimely lot!)<br />
    Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf,<br />
    That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod<br />
    No foot of man), commend thyself to God!<br />
    <br />
    By Edgar Allan Poe
