From The Cambridge Meteor. No. 7. June 14, 1882. Fabb and Tyler, Cambridge.


Camerados.

Everywhere, everywhere, following me;

Taking me by the buttonhole, pulling off my boots, hustling me with the elbows;

Sitting down with me to clams and the chowder-kettle;

Plunging naked at my side into the sleek, irascible surges;

Soothing me with a strain that I neither permit nor prohibit;

Flocking this way and that, reverent, eager, orotund, irrepressible;
