You can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own.

The Chosen, Chaim Potok (1967).

“That’s a pretty murderous way to hit a ball. You almost killed me.”

“You were supposed to duck,” he said.

“I had no chance to duck.”

“Yes you did.”

“There wasn’t enough time. You hit it so fast.”

“There was time for you to bring up your glove.”

I considered that for a moment.

“You didn't want to duck.”

“That’s right,” I said, after a while.

“You didn’t want to have to duck any ball that I hit. You had to try and stop it.”

“That’s right.” I remembered that fraction of a second when I had brought my glove up in front of my face. I could have jumped aside and avoided the ball completely. I hadn’t thought to do that.
