AT BANQUET IN HONOR OF THE CHINESE EMBASSY BOSTON, 1860

Nature creates in the East the uncontrollable yearning to

escape from limitation into the vast and boundless, to use a

freedom of fancy which plays with all works of Nature, great

or minute, galaxy or grain of dust, as toys and words of

the mind; inculcates a beatitude to be found in escape from

all organization and all personality, and makes ecstasy an

institution.
