| 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 (1860) Today's Rune: Movement. |

Such a city would be worth founding.
Erik, don't we all wish our city was like that? Old Walt was pretty cool!
