Night Song at Amalfi

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 20, 2012, 4:53 PM
LiveJournal l Gallery l Bluecanvas l Watch Me l Note Me

I asked the heaven of stars
  What I should give my love—
It answered me with silence,
  Silence above.
  
I asked the darkened sea          
  Down where the fishes go—
It answered me with silence,
  Silence below.
  
Oh, I could give him weeping,
  Or I could give him song—   
But how can I give silence
  My whole life long?


Sara Teasdale, Night Song at Amalfi

Thank you


Thank you so much to new watchers, to everyone for all your favourites, for your continued interest, and quite simply for your general tolerance.

I am not always able to reply to every comment (though I do try), and I have had to choose not to thank everyone individually for favourites and watches (but again, I try to acknowledge the latter as much as possible), for which I do beg your pardon. Please be assured, however, that I appreciate them very much.

Silence is not the answer; it is the container for the answer.

Excellent choice of poem. 8-)

Indeed. The sad truth is that it is often the only thing some of us are obliged to offer.
