A - Silence - of - Three - Parts
Kvothe - Name of the Wind
a great river-smoot
h stone
The Waystone was his just as
It was in the weight
of the black stone hearth that
the third silence was his
held the head of a longdead fire
the dark hours of the night
If there had been music - but no
It was the slow back and forth
Of course there was no music
The Waystone Inn lay in silence
and it was a silence of 3 parts
In fact there were
The most obvious part was
a hollow - echoing quiet
It was the patient
This was appropriate
as it was
of a white linen cloth rubbing
none of these things
and so the silence remained
along the grain of the bar
Inside the Waystone - a pair
made by things that were lacking
If there had been a wind
of men huddled at one
it would have sighed through
the trees - set the inn's sign
the greatest silence of the 3
and it was in the hands
corner of the bar - they drank
with quiet determinati
on
of the man who stood there
avoiding serious discussions
creaking on its hooks
and brushed the silence
of troubling news
Patrick - Rothfuss
cut-flower sound of a man
wrapping the other inside itself
polishing a stretch of mahogany
In doing this they added
a small - sullen silence
down the road like
trailing autumn leaves
that already gleamed in the
to the larger - hollow one
It made an alloy of sorts
It was deep and wide
lamplight - The man had
a counterpoin
t
If there had been a crowd
even a handful of men
The third silence
inside the inn - they would have
filled the silence with
true-red hair - red as flame
was not an easy thing to notice
If you listened for an hour
who is waiting to die
as autumn's ending
His eyes was dark and distant
You might begin to feel it
conversatio
n and laughter
the clatter and clamour
in the wooden floor underfoot
one expects from
a drinking house during
and he moved with the subtle
and in the rough - splintering
barrels behind the bar
It was heavy as
certainty that comes from
knowing many things
