Part of the cluster BY THE ROADSIDE.

GERMS.

FORMS, qualities, lives, humanity, language, thoughts, The ones known, and the ones unknown, the ones on the stars, The stars themselves, some shaped, others unshaped, Wonders as of those countries, the soil, trees, cities, inhabitants,  
 whatever they may be,
Splendid suns, the moons and rings, the countless combinations  
 and effects,
Such-like, and as good as such-like, visible here or anywhere,  
 stand provided for in a handful of space, which I extend  
 my arm and half enclose with my hand,
That containing the start of each and all, the virtue, the germs  
 of all.
