IX
I dreamed in a dream of a city where all the
men were like brothers,
O I saw them tenderly love each other—I
often saw them, in numbers, walking
hand in hand;
I dreamed that was the city of robust
friends—Nothing was greater there
than the quality of manly love—it led
the rest,
It was seen every hour in the actions of the
men of that city, and in all their looks
and words.—
