through to the accepted hells beneath;
Of ugliness—To me there is just as much in it as
there is in beauty—And now the ugliness of

Of detected persons—To me, detected persons are
not, in any respect, worse than undetected per-
sons—and are not in any respect worse than I
am myself;
Of criminals—To me, any judge, or any juror, is
equally criminal—and any reputable person is
also—and the President is also.

Of waters, forests, hills,
Of the earth at large, whispering through medium

Of vista—Suppose some sight in arriere, through the
formative chaos, presuming the growth, fulness,
life, now attained on the journey;
