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, exalté,

previously unknown,

Because I perceive it waits, and has been always waiting, latent in all men.
