2,656 Quotes About Silence

Silentium![1]Молчи, скрывайся и таиИ чувства и мечты свои —Пускай в душевной глубинеВстают и заходя́т онеБезмолвно, как звезды́ в ночи, —Любуйся ими — и молчи.Как сердцу высказать себя?Другому как понять тебя?Поймёт ли он, чем ты живёшь?Мысль изрече́нная есть ложь.Взрывая, возмутишь ключи, —Питайся ими — и молчи.Лишь жить в себе самом умей —Есть целый мир в душе твоейТаинственно-волшебных дум;Их оглуши́т наружный шум,Дневные разгоня́т лучи, —Внимай их пенью — и молчи!..1830
