Or grassy bottom, all, with little hills—

Their labour, covered, as a lake with waves;[EK]

Thousands of cities, in the desert place

Built up of life, and food, and means of life!

Nor wanting here, to entertain the thought,

Creatures that in communities exist,

Less, as might seem, for general guardianship

Or through dependence upon mutual aid,

Than by participation of delight

And a strict love of fellowship, combined.
