Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

O that grave speech would cumber our quick souls,
Like bells that waste the moments with their loudness.

The Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Speech is but broken light upon the depth
Of the unspoken.

The Spanish Gypsy (1868)
