nted with many
people (because I have met them in thought or in dreams) whom I do
not know (have never met in the flesh, nor heard of).' Having met
other souls while wandering in dreams (line 8) or in some way
equally difficult of rational explanation, I have a circle of
acquaintances that transcends the list of those of whom I have
knowledge in any recognized way. The thought is thus identical
with that of Kipling's story "The Brushwood Boy."]
