And isn’t it Byronic . . . Don’t you think? It’s like rain, but it’s every day. It’s two days’ ride when you’d just rather stay. It’s the full moon over the tempest spray. And who would’ve thought?

Hermit vs. AnchoriteA hermit retires from society to live alone in the wilderness. An anchorite retires from society to live in an enclosed cell attached to a church. One lives apart.
