    What is he buzzing in my ears?

    Do I view the world as a vale of tears?’
    Ah, reverend sir, not I!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    I call it our collective inheritance of isolation. We inherit isolation in the bones of our lives. It is passed on to us as sure as the shape of our noses and the length of our legs. When we are young, we are taught to keep to ourselves for reasons we may not yet understand. As we grow up we become the “men who never cry” and the “women who never complain.” We become another generation of people expected not to bother others with our problems.
    —Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
