Stuart's Daily Word Spot: Babel/quiet

Tower of BabelImage via Wikipedia
Babel/quiet:


Babel: noun - confused mixture of sounds; meaningless noise; scene of confusion; a noisy gathering.


'Will you cease this Babel and give me peace to think?'


Quiet: noun - absence of excess noise or activity in the environment; silence; stillness or tranquillity;

'Ah, the blessed quiet of the barely-populated rural idyll; a place to refresh the spirit.'
