Solitude

At last! Alone! No sound but the rattle of a few belated, worn-out hackney cabs. For a few hours silence will be ours, if not rest. At last! The tyranny of the human face has disappeared, and I will suffer no more, except from myself.
Charles Baudelaire, À une heure du matin (At one o'clock in the morning)
