Nisqually Bridge, April 18th, 1851
1t is O'Clock in the evening; the inhabitants
are all at rest, and hear nothing to break the
lonely silence save the dismal roar of the waters
beneath. In short, it seems very much like sol.
tude: hence think this a fit occasion to dwell
for few moments upon the subject of solitude
and perverted humanity. When all the world
seems a blank; when We are oppres ed by those
from whom we have no reason to expect aught
but friendship; when mslortunes are around us
on every side, and there is no soothing voice or
fairy form to cheer our dropping spirits then
how sweet is solitudeI how glad we are to ex.
change our conflict for that solitude which at
other times has no charms. and think If were
