A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

    “Whoso walketh in solitude,
    And inhabiteth the wood,
    Choosing light, wave, rock, and bird,
    Before the money-loving herd,
    Into that forester shall pass,
    From these companions, power and grace.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
