Among the Multitude.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

AMONG THE MULTITUDE.

1AMONG the men and women, the multitude, I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine  
 signs, Acknowledging none else—not parent, wife, husband,  
 brother, child, any nearer than I am; Some are baffled—But that one is not—that one knows  
 me. 2Ah, lover and perfect equal! I meant that you should discover me so, by my faint  
 indirections; And I, when I meet you, mean to discover you by the  
 like in you.
