......................by ourselves





We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; 
but always and in all circumstance we are by ourselves.
The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone.
Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies 
into a single self-transcendence; in vain.
By its very nature every embodied spirit 
is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude.


— Aldous Huxley
in, The Doors of Perception
(1954)
