Book V. Calamus: 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.
