"We've known about the transcendent power of solitude for centuries; it's only recently that we've forgotten it."

Previous Quote

Moments when the original 'poet' in each of us created the outside world for us, by finding the familiar in the unfamiliar, are perhaps forgotten by most people; or else they are guarded in some secret place of memory because they were too much like visitations by the gods to be mixed with everyday thinking.
