Silence


(On the Beach at Trouville, Normandy by Claude Monet,
1840-1926, French Impressionist painter)

And nothing is lost.

SILENCE

’Tis better to sit here beside the sea,
Here, on the spray-kissed beach,
In silence, that between such friends as we
Is full of deepest speech.

~ Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), American poet and novelist
