"Expression of speech! in what is written or said, forget not that silence is also expressive, That anguish as hot as the hottest, and contempt as cold as the coldest, may be without words, That the true adoration is likewise without words, and without kneeling... Great is the earth, and the way it became what it is, Do you imagine it is stopped at this? the increase abandoned? Understand then that it goes as far onward from this, as this is from the times when it lay in covering waters and gases. " ~ Walt Whitman
