To be left alone at this pretty SPOT

This is the ideal spot for silent solitude. No mobiles, laptops, landline telephones, or the noise of the maddening crowds. Barbara tells us that she has to be alone very often. There is a pleasure in being alone with oneself.
We leave you with this contemplative quote by Thomas Mann: Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite, to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
