Fierce quiet

We can make our minds so like still water
    that beings gather about us that they may see,
        it may be, their own images,
            and so live for a moment with a clearer,
                perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.

                        William Butler Yeats, The Celtic Twilight: Faerie and Folklore
