I seek the
silence...
I
seek the silence of a secluded lake,
Of
a moment in time
When
the past is suspended,
Of
a mountain valley
Where
travelers rest and look,
Do
nothing more,
And
solitude refreshes—
The
likeness of eons uncountable ago:
The
seventh day.

| Sleeping Muse II (1917) by Constantin Brancusi |
Short version of poem by the same title

Silence is a quality of the soul. It is acquired and deepened through physical silence, but ultimately the source of genuinely satisfying silence is grace, the gift for which we are best disposed to receive through a dedicated life of prayer, in the most complete sense of the word.
