To the loneliest one...
To the loneliest one...There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable
So great it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings
Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this
That in immensity
There is one lonelier than you.
- Theodore Sturgeon "A Saucer of Loneliness"
It is a truly moving short story that appeared in Galaxy Magazine in February, 1953
