Delmore Schwartz - The Choir And Music Of Solitude And Silence
Work rating: Low

Silence is a great blue bell
Swinging and ringing, tinkling and singing, 
In measure`s pleasure, and in the supple symmetry
                of the soaring of the immense intense wings
                glinting against
All the blue radiance above us and within us, hidden
Save for the stars sparking, distant and unheard in their
                singing.
And this is the first meaning of the famous saying,
The stars sang. They are the white birds of silence 
And the meaning of the difficult famous saying that the
                sons and daughters of morning sang,
Meant and means that they were and they are the children
                of God and morning,
Delighting in the lights of becoming and the houses of
                being,
Taking pleasure in measure and excess, in listening as in
                seeing.

Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage.
Courage is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of
                love.

So that when the great blue bell of silence is stilled and
                stopped or broken
By the babel and chaos of desire unrequited, irritated and
                frustrated,
When the heart has opened and when the heart has spoken
Not of the purity and symmetry of gratification, but action
                of insatiable distraction`s dissatisfaction,

Then the heart says, in all its blindness and faltering 
                emptiness:
There is no God. Because I am hope. And hope must be 
                fed.
And then the great blue bell of silence is deafened, dumbed,
                and has become the tomb of the living dead.
