, as I look, I see each result and glory retracing
 * itself and nestling close, always obligated;

Thither hours, months, years—thither trades, compacts,
 * establishments, 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.



themselves understand themselves, and the like
 * of themselves.

As Souls only understand Souls.
