Overcome with pity for this world,
My tears obscure my sight;
I wonder, can it be the moon
Whose melancholy light
Has saddened me to-night?

Saigyo Hoshi, Japanese Monk, and Poet, A.D. 1115-1188

"I think I am probably in love with silence,
that other world.
And that I write, in some way
to negotiate seriously with it.

...because there is, of course
always the desire, the hope,
that they are not two separate worlds,
sound and silence, but that they become each other,
that only our hearing fails.

Jodie Graham (1950- ) American Poet, from Some Notes on Silence
