"Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife." Proverbs 17:1
With a belly full of homemade meatballs, I close my heavy eyes to 45 degrees, screened windows, a patchwork quilt, the rustling of the sugar maples leaves, and all my Irish-Italian in-laws tucked in for the dark night.
I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. ~Henry David Thoreau, "Solitude," Walden, 1854
