Even as the snow that lies within the shade;

“The thing is, you see, that the strongest man in the world is the man who stands alone.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“The true use of Shakespeare or of Cervantes, of Homer or of Dante, of Chaucer or of Rabelais, is to augment one’s own growing inner self....

All that the Western Canon can bring one is the proper use of one’s own solitude, that solitude whose final form is one’s confrontation with one’s own mortality.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
