The City of Comrades - Basil King

Author of
“THE INNER SHRINE” “THE WILD OLIVE”
“THE WAY HOME” “THE HIGH HEART” ETC.

I dream’d in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth;

I dream’d that was the new City of Friends;

Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest;

It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,

And in all their looks and words.

—Walt Whitman.
