Sentence 7

"He declares what we all know in the secret passages of our own nights, that although we long for perfect harmony, communion, and blending with another soul, this is a solo voyage."

Commentary:
In this sentence, an aspect of human nature is described by the Box Man, who is an individual who has chosen a life of solitude and loneliness. He discusses the aspect of love and companionship between people. The Box Man says that "secret passages of our own nights," our hopes and dreams to find a companion for life cannot come true because of the nature of life. He states that no matter how much we want to be connected to another person, to "blend with another soul," life is a "solo voyage." The author compares life to a voyage or a journey through metaphor, adding the people are ultimately alone in life, even if surrounded by loved ones.
