The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt WhitmanYou road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt WhitmanI exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
