24 I see the despondent red
man in the west, lingering
about the
banks of Moingo, and about Lake
Pepin;
He has heard the quail and beheld the honey-bee, and sadly prepared to depart.
25 I see the regions of snow and ice;
I see the sharp-eyed Samoiede and the Finn;
I see the seal-seeker in his boat, poising his lance;
I see the Siberian on his slight-built sledge, drawn by dogs;
I see the porpoise-hunters — I see the whale-crews of the South Pacific and the North Atlantic;
I see the cliffs, glaciers, torrents, valleys, of Switzer- land — I mark the long winters, and the iso- lation.
26 I see the cities of the earth, and make myself at random a part of them;
I am a real Parisian;
I am a habitan of Vienna, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Con- stantinople;
I am of Adelaide, Sidney, Melbourne;
I am of London, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, Limerick;
I am of Madrid, Cadiz, Barcelona, Oporto, Lyons, Brussels, Berne, Frankfort, Stuttgart, Turin, Florence;
I belong in Moscow, Cracow, Warsaw — or northward in Christiania or Stockholm — or in Siberian Irkutsk — or in some street in Iceland;
I descend upon all those cities, and rise from them again.
