The power of being quietly spoken

Softly falls the memory…

Leonardo: Would have been her birthday.

Isabella: She was a wonderful mother. Medical training during the war. Did all the other things too, like sewing and gardening and bottling. 

Leonardo: Un momento di silenzio per ricordare Giovanna.

Isabella: I remember her as always being quietly spoken.

Leonardo: She didn’t like noise. She often used to say, "Empty vessels clang loudest."

Voice-over

She had a quiet way with words too. Rephrased metaphors, sometimes combining Plato and Shakespeare.
