A Character

...appie
Who lives to make his fellows happy;
With in his eyes a merry twinkle,
And round his lips a laughing wrinkle;

Passage to India

...rophetic intention; 
Now, first, it seems, my thought begins to span thee. 

Down from the gardens of Asia, descending, radiating, 
Adam and Eve appear, then their myriad progeny after them,
Wandering, yearning, curious—with restless explorations, 
With questionings, baffled, formless, feverish—with never-happy hearts, 
With that sad, incessant refrain, Wherefore, unsatisfied Soul? and Whither, O
