The meaning
Quiet intensity is fiction that keeps the charge in subtext: two people in a room who both know, and who do not announce it. It is spatial (inside a moment) more than temporal (across a long delay).
Searchers looking up 'quiet intensity meaning' are usually naming a feeling they want from a story, not a bookstore category. That is why it has a landing here.
