And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening.

Simon & Garfunkel

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Simon & Garfunkel

"Fools", said I, "you do not know"
Silence like a cancer grows

Simon & Garfunkel
