Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Quote

And silence, like a poultice, comes
To heal the blows of sound.


To an Insect; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).


And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.

And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.

And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.

And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound.
