On Silence

Just popped out quite late at night to lock up a couple of classrooms. Enjoyed the relative peace on the corridors, but was keenly aware of the night sounds accompanying my tread. Thought briefly about writing something clever about the sounds 'staining' the silence, but realised that, quite apart from sounding pretentious, it was just the wrong word. The sounds enhance the silence somehow, and if that sounds pretentious then too bad. It happens to be true.
