Sound

Not rural sights alone, but rural sounds,

Exhilarate the spirit, and restore

The tone of languid nature.

~ William Cowper

I am not so sure that what we need is to get away from noise and traffic and people.  Maybe what we need is to get away from the noise we know, the traffic we experience every day and the people with whom we are familiar.  Maybe it's not quiet, but it's new noise we ought to see.

Or - you're right - it's new noise we ought to hear.  You know what I mean! Why do you have to be so nitpicky about the words I use?

I think maybe you are one of those familiars I need some time away from.
