France

BRAVO, PARIS EXPOSITION !

"ADD to your show, before you close it, France,
With all the rest, visible, concrete, temples, towers, goods, machines, and ores,
Our sentiment wafted from many million heart throbs, ethereal, but solid,
(We grandsons and great-grandsons do not forget your grandsires),
From fifty Nations and nebulous Nations compacted, sent over sea to-day,

America's applause, love, memories, and goodwill."   W. Whitman
