In "Nova Express" [1964] this concept is already present. But though I came
across several passages on the "virus of silence" and its salvation potential,
I, too, couldn't find the quote. I also remember a passage on the arrival of
the language virus on earth from "Citys of the Red Night", but then I haven't
got a copy around. Keeping my eyes open.
