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.
