. . . . Think for a moment of the immeasurable solitude of self. We come into the world alone, unlike all who have gone before us, we leave it alone, under circumstances peculiar to ourselves. . . .

. . . . When death sunders our nearest ties, alone we wit in the shadow of our affliction. Alike amid the greatest triumphs and darkest trageties of life, we slk alone. Our divine heights of human attainment, eulogized and worshipped at a hero or saint, we stand alone. In ignorance, poverty and vice, as a pauper or criminal, alone we starve or steal; alone we suffer the sneers and rebuffs of our fellows; alone we are hunted and hounded through dark courts and alleys, in by-ways and high-ways; alone we stand in the judgment seat; alone in the prison cell we lament our crimes and misfortunes; alone we expiate them on the gallows. In hours like these we realize the awful solitude of individual life, its pains, its penalties, its responsibilities…

. . . ythere is a solitude which each and every one of has always carried with him, more inaccessible than the ice-cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea; the solitude of self . . . to it only omniscience is permitted to enter.

Such is individual life. ` Page 13
