1919
she being
born with no
ability to hear
or speak
he acting in
movies then
that had no
sound
found each other
historically caught
memorably not
talking in a
photograph
the age of silents
would soon be
over but all was
still in black
and white
he is seen being
the character he
had many times
been
she as she
often did was
touching lips with
finger tips she
was listening
his words were
just mouthed
allowing no
one to hear
but in her
head then later
it was said she
said he was quite
humorous
(A photograph can be seen of when Helen
Keller first met Charlie Chaplin.)
