The solitary figure is a recluse and a wanderer. A recluse is used to silence, used to the solitude of one's own company,used to appreciating the beauty in everyday things to be found in nature and in society. A wanderer is used to getting unexpected directions. This is the lot of the traveller: each new place brings with it new customs, new traditions, new challenges; but with each new challenge is a certainty that gives the wanderer great strength: the wanderer knows that before long the wanderer will move on, wander towards a new place. And so begins a new cycle.
