vdanskTo The Loneliest One
There is in certain living things
A quality of loneliness Unspeakable
So great that it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine
So know by this, that in Immensity
There is one lonelier than you.
From "A Saucer of Loneliness" by Theodore Sturgeon
