Something to think on …

It is a commonplace of all religious thought, even the most primitive, that the man seeking visions and insight must go apart from his fellows and love for a time in the wilderness.
— Loren Eiseley, born on this date in 1907

  1. To be deleted once read: clearly Eisely must have written "live", not "love".

  2. The quote, as I have it, appears quite frequently. A someone who has spent a lot of time in the wilderness, “love” struck me as perfectly reasonable. I do find it also quoted as “live” though, which of course makes sense. Will try to track it down.
