Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied soul of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech. In the same way, to say a little is often to tell more than to say a great deal.

沉默有时具有一种非凡的力量：它像脱离躯壳的情感之魂，独自游荡，此时比言语更能打动人。同样，寥寥数语往往比长篇大论传达得更多。
