" Owen Meredith, " Poems/* Vol. II ("Lucile"). ** Into the wilderness. " St. Matthew 4:1. " One impulse from a vernal wood May teach us more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. " Wordsworth, " Poems. " CHAPTER IV THE SECRET OF SOLITUDE* ■' J J J j - J » The " wilderness " was not necessarily a desert, barren and fruitless, as is sometimes supposed, but is to be thought of merely as a place of the wild, — that is, an uninhabited or unfrequented place. As such it might well... have been the vernal forest, the fruitful plain, or the sublime mountains. The picture is of a place where the natural food supply was lacking, and this may be the case as a general condition in all uncultivated regions. We must remember in this connection that the wilderness, in the minds of the ancients, was re- garded as a place of peculiar sanctity. Like the mountains, it was regarded as the " secret place, " the place of prayer and heart-searching, of wor- ship and communion, — in short, the place where God was specially to be found.
