Just by the entrance to the choir an official stopped me, and asked me if I wanted to go and see a lot of fal lal things he had got on show  relics and bones, and old masters, and such like Wardour street rubbish. I told him, "No"; and attempted to pass on, but he said: "No, no! You don't pay, you don't go in there," and shut the gate.

 buoys her up lovingly for all men to see. Not until she has grown worn-out and rotten, and is no longer a truth, will the waters of Silence close over her. Silence is the only real thing we can lay hold of in this world of passing dreams. Time is a shadow that will vanish with the twilight of humanity; but Silence is a part of the eternal. All things that are true and lasting have been taught to men's hearts by Silence. Among all nations, there should be vast temples raised where the people might worship Silence and listen to it, for it is the voice of God. These fair churches and cathedrals that men have reared around them throughout the world, have been built as homes for mere creeds--this one for Protestantism, that one for Romanism, another for Mahomedanism. But God's Silence dwells in all alike, only driven forth at times by the tinkling of bells and the mumbling of prayers; and, in them, it is good to sit awhile and have communion with her. We strolled round, before we came out. UPON A DEEP OCEAN SILENCE BOYS ARE UP LOVINGLY FOR ALL MEN TO SEE NOT UNTIL SHE HAS GROWN WORN OUT AND ROTTEN AND IS NO LONGER A TRUTH OR THE WATERS OF SILENCE CLOSE OVER HER SILENCE IS THE ONLY REAL THING WE CAN LAY HOLD OF IN THIS WORLD OF PASSING DREAMS TIME IS A SHADOW THAT WILL VANISH WITH THE TWILIGHT OF HUMANITY BUT SILENCE IS A PART OF THE ETERNAL ALL THINGS THAT ARE TRUE AND LASTING HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO MEN'S HEARTS BY SILENCE AMONG ALL NATIONS THERE SHOULD BE VAST TEMPLES RAISED WHERE THE PEOPLE MIGHT WORSHIP SILENCE AND LISTEN TO IT FOR IT IS THE VOICE OF GOD THESE FAIR CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS THAT MEN HAVE REARED AROUND THEM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HAVE BEEN BUILT AS HOMES FOR MERE CREEDS THIS ONE FOR PROTESTANTISM THAT ONE FOR ROMANISM ANOTHER FOR MAHOMMEDANISM BUT GOD'S SILENCE DWELLS IN ALL ALIKE ONLY DRIVEN FORTH AT TIMES BY THE TINKLING OF BELLS AND THE MUMBLING OF PRAYERS AND IN THEM IT IS GOOD TO SIT AWHILE AND HAVE COMMUNION WITH HER WE STROLLED ROUND BEFORE WE CAME OUT
