Silence is only relative to the faintest sound you can hear
It's for in the mourning, and there is a calm melancholy brought about by the dark stillness of the world's soundless sleep. But there is no silence, for if you listen hard enough and the place is free enough of distractions, you will notice it is but a single note that borders between the highest audible pitch and what, like batsong, is inaudible to the naked ear. And in the same way one's eyes cannot be shut once they are opened, it will be impossible to shut this maddening, deafening buzz of a silence from your ears. So you stare blankly at a wall in front of you, a tortured wait for your slowly fatiguing body to once again free you from this reality, if only for a few hours before the world demands you to go get up and havemake some breakfast amidst the increasing noises of a waking world you nevertheless watched sleep.
