There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable,
So great 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.
A quality of loneliness unspeakable,
So great 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.

Date: 2007-09-07 02:48 am (UTC)Today I heard a dramatization of Sturgeon's A Saucer of Loneliness, where this quote came from, and it, and the story, both hit me.
I'm feeling better since I posted. :)
