Savantism.

Part of the cluster INSCRIPTIONS.

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, establish- 
 ments, 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.
