Solitude is viewed as a source of strength.
Both Emerson’s "Society and Solitude" and Chapter I of "Nature" praise withdrawal from crowds as necessary for self-discovery, moral independence, and spiritual renewal. In these works solitude enables clear perception, personal growth, and communion with the universal (the Over‑Soul), rather than being unnecessary or of little value.
