Walt Whitman - Facing West From California`sWalt Whitman - Facing West From California`s
Work rating: Medium


FACING west, from California`s shores, Inquiring, tireless, seeking what is yet unfound, I, a child, very old, over waves, towards the house of maternity, the         land of migrations, look afar, Look off the shores of my Western Sea—the circle almost circled; For, starting westward from Hindustan, from the vales of Kashmere, From Asia—from the north—from the God, the sage, and the hero, From the south—from the flowery peninsulas, and the spice islands; Long having wander`d since—round the earth having wander`d, Now I face home again—very pleas`d and joyous; (But where is what I started for, so long ago?                     And why is it yet unfound?)
