I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.
