“O! lost to virtue, lost to manly thought, Lost to the noble sallies of the soul! Who think it solitude to be alone.”
Edward Young

“This sacred shade and solitude, what is it? 'Tis the felt presence of the Deity, Few are the faults we flatter when alone.”
Edward Young

“O sacred solitude! divine retreat! Choice of the prudent! envy of the great, By thy pure stream, or in thy waving shade, We court fair wisdom, that celestial maid.”
