Re + close — ख़ुद को दुनिया से फिर से close कर लेना। Loneliness काटने दौड़ती है, solitude में शांति मिलती है, और जो solitude में जीता है वह recluse है।

Re + close: a recluse closes himself off from the world again and again. Loneliness hurts, but solitude brings peace, and the one who chooses solitude is a recluse.
