It is connected with hope, connected with the consciousness of the noble element in the human soul; and where it is unperceived, or where there is none to perceive it, or where it falls dead, and fails in its effect, the solitary eye which gazes will find no pleasure, no joy--only distress--as for something calling to him out of a visionary world from which his own race is shut out.

We cannot feel healthily alone.

The sense of worship, the sense of beauty, the sense of sight, is only alive and keen when shared by others ....

It is something not alone, but generated by the action of the object on the soul.

Thus in these islands there is only sadness.
