You form no part of the social system here.

Gregarious by nature, you cannot associate; dependent, you cannot attach yourself; a rational being, you cannot interchange ideas.

In seeking the wilderness you enter the abode of solitude, and are naturally and voluntarily alone.

On visiting a city, on the contrary, you enter the residence of man, and if you are forced into isolation there, to you it is worse than a desert.
"I know of nothing so depressing as this feeling of unconnected individuality, amidst a dense population like this.

But, my friend, there is One who never forsakes us either in the throng or the wilderness, whose ear is always open to our petitions, and who has invited us to rely on his goodness and mercy." "You hadn't ought to feel lonely here, Minister," said Mr.Slick.
