To the East and to the West.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST.

TO the East and to the West, To the man of the Seaside State and of Pennsylvania, To the Kanadian of the north, to the Southerner I love, These with perfect trust to depict you as myself, the germs are in  
 all men, I believe the main purport of these States is to found a superb  
 friendship, exaltè, previously unknown, Because I perceive it waits, and has been always waiting, latent in  
 all men.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.
