SAVANTISM.

Thither, as I look, I see each result and glory retracing
itself and nestling close, always obligated;
Thither hours, months, years—thither trades, compacts,
establishments, even the most minute.
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, persons,
estates.
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful,
admirant.
As a father, to his father going, takes his children
along with him.
