The poem "The Sound Of Silence" by Paul Siman is a paradoxical poem. The title of this poem seems to be a paradoxical line as the statement had created a situation which seems impossible but had its own meaning.
Here, the statement" the sound of silence had created a situation which is difficult to understand but studying its depth, we can get a deep meaning of it. "The sound of silence" is a paradoxical line. It seems very wrong. It is totally impossible. The sound always comes from noisy, crowded places. The silence doesn't produce any kind of sound. But while we go through the depth of this line, we can understand that yes the sound can be produced the silence. Such produced sounds a very good and encouraging vibes that can lead to change the life of the people.
One can be heard the sound through the silence only by his or her care of the heart. Such sound can be spoken through the heart and can be heard from the depth of the heart as well.
Hence, the sound of silence is paradoxical phrases but had a very strong meaning of its own.
