Walt Whitman - Unfolded Out Of The FoldsWalt Whitman - Unfolded Out Of The Folds
Work rating: Low


UNFOLDED out of the folds of the woman, man comes unfolded, and is         always to come unfolded; Unfolded only out of the superbest woman of the earth, is to come the         superbest man of the earth; Unfolded out of the friendliest woman, is to come the friendliest         man; Unfolded only out of the perfect body of a woman, can a man be form`d         of perfect body; Unfolded only out of the inimitable poem of the woman, can come the         poems of man—(only thence have my poems come Unfolded out of the strong and arrogant woman I love, only thence can         appear the strong and arrogant man I love; Unfolded by brawny embraces from the well-muscled woman I love, only         thence come the brawny embraces of the man; Unfolded out of the folds of the woman`s brain, come all the folds of         the man`s brain, duly obedient; Unfolded out of the justice of the woman, all justice is unfolded; Unfolded out of the sympathy of the woman is all sympathy:        A man is a great thing upon the earth, and through eternity—but         every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman, First the man is shaped in the woman, he can then be shaped in         himself.
