There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
Walt WhitmanI see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt WhitmanTHIS dust was once the Man, / Gentle, plain, just and resoluteโunder whose cautious hand, / Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age, / Was saved the Union of These States.
