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?

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.
