MARY McCARTHY + Mary McCarthy + Jack McCarthy

Rare is the person
who has never experienced
loneliness
but here is where
perform a defining tune
about loneliness
and quarantine
 
And the late, great 
novelist/activist/scriptwriter
with the same name
as Jack's wife
wrote something
more succinct
on the subject:

Loneliness is 
a garish quality

Her five word
shock-to-the-system
 is from 
the same book
quoted on

    1. Being out of context, the meaning is not clear
      BUT it essentially means
      If you are lonely and have money,
      you can adorn yourself with garish intention
