Quote by Thomas Mann, Death in Venice, 19
A solitary, unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, has mental experiences which are at once more intense and less articulate than those of a gregarious man.
Summary
This quote suggests that individuals who are isolated and not accustomed to expressing their thoughts and emotions tend to have more profound inner experiences. However, they struggle to convey these experiences effectively compared to someone who is more social and comfortable with verbal communication. The quote implies that solitude intensifies one's internal world but can also limit their ability to articulate and share their thoughts and feelings with others.
