But in green ruins, in the desolate walls 
   Of antique palaces, where Man hath been, 
Though the dun fox, or wild hyena, calls, 
   And owls, that flit continually between, 
Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan, 
There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone. 
In this poem, ambiguity is used to perpetuate an idea and make the reader think for themselves to decipher what the author might mean.

(under the sea or in a large desert)
But the second stanza goes into how the silence is in a place where humans have been, and abandoned the area. It describes the silence in those areas as a more self-aware silence, and more isolated. ]]> 2017-11-20 07:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aidananderson4_1/w9qu6l4qtjt8/wish/208602212 Voice aidananderson4_1 https://padlet.com/aidananderson4_1/w9qu6l4qtjt8/wish/208603210 The speaker of this poem is telling it from the third person, a they are examining the difference between two different types of silences. ]]> 2017-11-20 07:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aidananderson4_1/w9qu6l4qtjt8/wish/208603210
