Book V: Calamus - I Hear It Was Charged Against Me

I hear it was charged against me that I sought to destroy institutions,
But really I am neither for nor against institutions,
(What indeed have I in common with them? or what with the
        destruction of them?)
Only I will establish in Mannahatta and in every city of these
        States inland and seaboard,
And in the fields and woods, and above every keel little or large
        that dents the water,
Without edifices or rules or trustees or any argument,
The institution of the dear love of comrades.
