Solitude

 By Ralph Waldo Emerson 

To go into solitude 

A man needs to retire 

As much from his chamber

As from society 

I am not solitary whilst I read and write

Though nobody is with me

But if a man would be alone,

l Let him.look at the stars

Standing on bare ground

Head bathed by blithe air

And uplifted into infinite space

All mean egotism vanishes

I become transparent eyeball

I am nothing; I see all;

The currents of universal being circulate through me

I am a part or particle of God!
