To be Silent.
Silence ties up her tongue. Now silence lockt the organs of her voice. To lock his thoughts within his silent breast. The secrets of nature. Have not a greater gift of silence. Give it an understanding but no tongue. My tongue shall never take knowledge of a word Delivered to me in nature of your trust.

I am Harpocrates. When you discover secrets to him you hide them. Concealed in eternal night. My tongue shall be close prisoner to my heart. To silence she her lips confin'd. To seale the lips.
