40. 37 Because everyone is aware of this somber power and their dangerous antics, we harbor a deep dread of silence. When forced to endure, we bear the isolation and our own silence, but the silence of a few, or a multiplied number, or especially a crowd, is an supernatural burden, an unexplainable weight that even the strongest of souls dread. We spend much of our lives seeking ground where silence does not reign. Once two or three meet, they only wish to drive away the unseen enemy, for, after all, how many ordinary friendships are not built upon a hatred of silence? If people's efforts are in vain and silence still successfully infiltrates the gathering, they will turn their heads away from the solemn, unknown side of things, then immediately leave, leaving the space for strangers, and from then on they will avoid each other, fearing that the century-long struggle will once again fail, fearing that someone might secretly open the door to the enemy... — M. Maeterlinck
