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... by jennyleigh :: Liek thanks you :: by Liek
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-)
