*****Silence

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in
stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the
world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than the
absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate
attempt to prevent a dreadful silence. If he is introduced to a fellow
mortal, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards
himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the
emptiest-headed chatterbox. He knows that ninety-nine per cent of human
conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he longs to
join in the buzz, and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork
figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to
communicate ideas: it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it
must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is the even buzz
that is as exasperating as the continuous ping of a mosquito. But at a
dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute. Most buzzing,
fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable to the
mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited till he had a wise
thought before taking part in the buzzing with his neighbours. Those
who despise the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be
ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human
beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some
of them are **************************** if they are merely allowed to
go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing
to tell them except thet they have seen two or three new plays or that
they have had bad food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during
which they have said nothing at immense length they congratulate
themselves on their success as conversationists.
