Quote by Clara Ysé

“Il est des silences qui sont le signe d'un apaisement. D'autres suivent le coup lancé par un fusil dans la nuit et sont plus bruyants que la détonation qui les précède. Certains vibrent, habités par tous les sons, comme le noir est traversé de toutes les couleurs. D'autres encore soignent des plaies inguérissables. Et il y a le silence de l'absence.”

“Estha had always been a quiet child, so no one could pinpoint with any degree of accuracy exactly when (the year, if not the month or day) he had stopped talking. Stopped talking altogether, that is. The fact is that there wasn’t an “exactly when.” It had been a gradual winding down and closing shop. A barely noticeable quietening. As though he had simply run out of conversation and had nothing left to say. Yet Estha’s silence was never awkward. Never intrusive. Never noisy. It wasn’t an accusing, protesting silence as much as a sort of estivation, a dormancy, the psychological equivalent of what lungfish do to get themselves through the dry season, except that in Estha’s case the dry season looked as though it would last forever.”
