While in Chicago, I went out early Sunday morning for a rather aimless walk after catching some breakfast at the West Egg near my hotel. I happened upon The Chicago Theatre at one point and had to take a photo of its well-known sign.

Listening to "Love Today" by Mika

"SINCE I lost you I am silence-haunted,
Sounds wave their little wings
A moment, then in weariness settle
On the flood that soundless swings.

Whether the people in the street
Like pattering ripples go by,
Or whether the theatre sighs and sighs
With a loud, hoarse sigh:

Or the wind shakes a ravel of light
Over the dead-black river,
Or night’s last echoing
Makes the daybreak shiver:

I feel the silence waiting
To take them all up again
In its vast completeness, enfolding
The sound of men."
- D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930), "Silence"
