“Silence more musical than any song;”Christina Rossetti · Quote T-Shirt
The TV's off. The phone's face down. The house finally stopped humming, and you can hear yourself again.
The line before it makes the same move. Darkness, it says, is "more clear than noon-day."
The poem is called "Rest." In sheet music, a rest is a pause where the player plays nothing. Silence, written into the song.
Wear it on the days you choose quiet.
