Book 2 - Starting from Paumanok 17

Expanding and swift, henceforth,

Elements, breeds, adjustments, turbulent, quick and audacious,

A world primal again, vistas of glory incessant and branching,

A new race dominating previous ones and grander far, with new contests,

New politics, new literatures and religions, new inventions and arts.

These, my voice announcing--I will sleep no more but arise,

You oceans that have been calm within me! how I feel you,

fathomless, stirring, preparing unprecedented waves and storms.
