            3. Revisiting as an action which encompasses all humanity
              1. "Others will enter the gates of the ferry and cross from shore to shore.../Fifty years hence, others will see them as they cross..."
                1. Borad suggestion that all of humanity has the same perspective

              2. Vision & Perspective

                  1. Use of the physical to establish identity
                    1. "I too had receiv'd identity by my body,/ that I was I knew was of my body, and what I should be I knew I should/ be of my body
                    2. No differentiation between physical/man-made and nature
                      1. Similarities in descriptions
                        1. "Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, i/was refresh'd"
                          1. "Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I/stood yet was hurried"
                            1. "Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm'd/pipes of steamboats, I look'd"
                            2. Disruption of continual experience by history & development
