REVERSALS Let that which stood in front go behind, Let that which was behind advance to the front, Let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions. Let the old propositions be postponed, Let a man seek pleasure everywhere except in himself, Let a woman seek happiness everywhere except in herself.

As Adam early in the morning.. A promise to California.... Are you the new person drawn toward me?. As I ebb'd with the ocean of life.... A sight in camp in the day break grey and dim..... As I pondered in silence... 1 A song for occupations!. 182 A song of the rolling earth, and of words according........... 189 262 A thousand perfect men and women appear.... 238 is lacking...... 88 305 Behold this swarthy face, these grey eyes......
