Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

Resist much, obey little.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over.

A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.

That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.
