23.
THIS moment as I sit alone, yearning and thoughtful,it seems to me there are other men in other
lands, yearning and thoughtful; It seems to me I can look over and behold them,
in Germany, Italy, France, Spain—Or far, far
away, in China, or in Russia or India—talking
other dialects; And it seems to me if I could know those men better,
I should become attached to them, as I do to men
in my own lands, It seems to me they are as wise, beautiful, benevolent,
as any in my own lands; O I know we should be brethren and lovers, I know I should be happy with them.
