What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
To whom I have given a house in the solitude, and his tabernacles in the land of saltness. 52. Ought we in this place to understand the solitude of the body, or the solitude of the heart? But what avails the solitude of the body, if the solitude of the heart be wanting? For he who lives bodily removed from the world, but yet plunges into the tumults of human conversation with the thoughts of worldly desires, is not in solitude. …
Thomas Aquinas
Domesticated asses also seem to perish if they remain without shelters built by men, but the wild asses have a shelter prepared for them by divine providence, and so he says, "I have given them in uninhabited places," to which man does not go, "a home," a cave or cavern, "and tents," for example, under grass and trees, "in the land of salt waste," in some land not inhabited because of dryness and the burning of the sun. Here the dampness is turned as it were into the taste of salt.
