Confucius himself—the great poets and heroes—the warriors, the castes, all, 
Trooping up, crowding from all directions—from the Altay mountains, 
From Thibet—from the four winding and far-flowing rivers of China,
From the Southern peninsulas, and the demi-continental islands—from Malaysia; 
These, and whatever belongs to them, palpable, show forth to me, and are seiz’d by me, 
And I am seiz’d by them, and friendlily hel...Read more of this...

...harge and succession;
We few, equals, indifferent of lands, indifferent of times; 
We, enclosers of all continents, all castes—allowers of all theologies, 
Compassionaters, perceivers, rapport of men, 
We walk silent among disputes and assertions, but reject not the disputers, nor any thing
