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, per-          sons, 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.
