Isn’t it interesting how the words ‘solitude’ and ‘multitude’
have different prefixes added to the same root, and yet they’re used in quite
different ways – ‘multitude’ being a simple noun meaning ‘a crowd’ or ‘a great
number of,’ whereas ‘solitude’ is used to indicate a state of being? A person
in a crowd is ‘part of a multitude,’ but a person alone isn’t ‘the member of a
solitude.’

I feel solitude in the multitude.
So do I.
