| Summary | "The United Seas" by Robert W. Rogers is a prose-poem written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of the early 1910s. The work serves as an interpretation of the opening of the Panama Canal, commemorating the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and exploring themes of unity and international cooperation. The text reflects a deeper philosophical outlook on humanity's connection with the natural world and the significance of collective progress towards peace and democracy. The opening of the book presents a vision of hope and unity amidst the backdrop of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, highlighting the idea that the opening of the canal symbolizes a greater interconnectedness among nations. The author conveys a powerful message about the importance of vision and courage in the face of global conflict, calling for a shift from nationalistic pride to a global citizenship that embraces cooperation and peace. Through evocative language and rhythmic prose, Rogers sets the stage for an exploration of the transformative potential of humanity as it collectively gazes toward a shared future.
