SAVANTISM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thither as I look I see each result and glory retracing itself
Last Line: As a father to his father going takes his children along with him.


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.
