O golden Silence, bid our souls be still,
And on the foolish fretting of our care
Lay thy soft touch of healing unaware!
--
Silence, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

Thomas Carlyle

Pity, she'll be the last one to know.

Silence is golden, golden,
But my eyes still see.

Platero is a small donkey, a soft, hairy donkey: so soft to the touch that he might be said to be made of cotton, with no bones. Only the jet mirrors of his eyes are hard like two black crystal scarabs.
