"The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues." PR 17: 27-28

I convict myself by this proverb

Edit: At least from what I've read. That is the context under which I quoted Euripides. These days we all seem so quick to insert our 2¢ worth, myself included. It has become too easy to lob volleys from the bushes of perceived anonymity afforded by the internet. It is one of the many banes of modern technology.

There are several different understandings of the words to Sound of Silence as you say.

I believe the song is about a nightmare as many others do based on the words, here are the first two verses:

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

Copy the video's address in the box, click OK, and it should show up in your post.

My mother LOVED Boogie Woogie. She knew how to Jitterbug. She'd have dug the hell out of this little impromptu bit--

Just because I think we all could use a little extra Freude in our day. Have a good one folks!

You know he didn't really want to write that symphony. He was persuaded 10 years after the 8th.
