Ursus lived with Ursus, a _tete-a-tete_, into which the wolf gently thrust his nose.

If Ursus could have had his way, he would have been a Caribbee; that being impossible, he preferred to be alone.

The solitary man is a modified savage, accepted by civilization.

He who wanders most is most alone; hence his continual change of place.

To remain anywhere long suffocated him with the sense of being tamed.
