Solitude: The Seedbed of Self-Discovery
"In her Journal of a Solitude (public library), May Sarton records and reflects
on her interior life in the course of one year, her sixtieth, with remarkable
candor and courage. Out of these twelve private months arises the eternity of
the human experience with its varied universal capacities for astonishment and
sorrow, hollowing despair and creative vitality."
