Read the excerpt from “ Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.” Just as you feel when you look at the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refreshed by the gladness of the river and the
bright flow, I was refreshed,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift
current, I stood yet was hurried,
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the
thick-stemmed pipes of steamboats, I looked.
