"The  English Renaissance philosopher, Francis Bacon, who said, 'Whosever is 
delighted  in solitude is either a wild beast or a god,' was wrong, for though 
I love this  solitude with a passion that, from this high hill of old age, 
seems no less  powerful than that I had for my first love, the girl next door, I 
am neither  wild beast nor god, being nothing more than an old man, a 
solitary thruhiker?  with miles to go before I sleep.
