Through this broad street, restless ever, Ebbs and flows a hum

Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide. – John Greenleaf Whittier

At the bottom of my dream. – Henry David Thoreau

To join the brimming river,

But I go on for ever. – Alfred Lord Tennyson
