Also, born in 1868, American writer and poet Edgar Lee Masters.

I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea.
And the silence of the city when it pauses,
And the silence of a man and a maid,
And the silence for which music alone finds the word…

From the poem “Silence”, in Masters’ Songs and Satires (1916)
