THE LAST COLLECTIVE COMPACTION

I like well our polyglot construction-stamp, and the retention thereof,

in the broad, the tolerating, the many-sided, the collective. All

nations here--a home for every race on earth. British, German,

Scandinavian, Spanish, French, Italian--papers published, plays acted,

speeches made, in all languages--on our shores the crowning resultant

of those distillations, decantations, compactions of humanity, that have

been going on, on trial, over the earth so long.
