The other day an acquaintance of mine, an outgoing and charming man, told me he had found himself unexpectedly alone in New York for an hour or two between appointments. He went to the Whitney and spent the “empty” time looking at things in （1）solitary delight. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in（2） to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone. What had he been afraid of, I（3）myself? That, suddenly alone, he would discover that lie bored himself, or that there was, quite simply, no self there to meet? But having taken the plunge, he is now on the brink of （4）; he is about to be launched into his own inner space, space as immense, unexplored and sometimes frightening as outer space to the astronaut. His every perception will come to him with a new freshness and, for a time, seem startlingly original. For anyone（5）can see things for himself with a naked eye becomes, for a moment or two, something of a genius. With another human being present vision becomes double vision, inevitably. We are busy wondering, what does my companion see or think of this, and what do I think of it? The （6） impact gets lost, or diffused. Loneliness is most acutely felt with other people, for with others, （7）with a lover sometimes, we suffer from our differences of taste and mood. Alone we can afford to be wholly whatever we are and to feel whatever（8）feel absolutely. That is a great luxury! For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When 1 can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to （9）a few pages, take a walk with my dog, lie down in the afternoon for a long think (why does one think better in a（10） position?), read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.
