Different Silences....?

"There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt....
This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so... Whatever the mood or the circumstance, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows."
(Beryl Markham, West with the Night)
