Summary/Abstract: Silence is sometimes so fullof meanings that it abolishes the word, not only to make it useless, but also because itthus dissipates the fine essence it carries with her, without letting itself to be touched.Silence is the hymn that the word brings to the spirit. Thus, the word of God, full andabsolute Revelation, is not different from absolute silence2. Why? Because, asJohannes Climacus says, the friend of silence is near to God. I will speak in thefollowing text about Saint Thomas Aquinas, having in mind a sayng of SaintAugustine: in magno silentio cordis.
