Walt Whitman - InscriptionWalt Whitman - Inscription
Work rating: Low


SMALL is the theme of the following Chant, yet the greatest—namely,         One`s-Self—that wondrous thing a simple, separate person.         That, for the use of the New World, I sing. Man`s physiology complete, from top to toe, I sing. Not physiognomy         alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse;—I say the Form         complete is worthier far. The female equal with the male, I         sing, Nor cease at the theme of One`s-Self. I speak the word of the modern,         the word En-Masse: My Days I sing, and the Lands—with interstice I knew of hapless War. O friend whoe`er you are, at last arriving hither to commence, I feel         through every leaf the pressure of your hand, which I return.         And thus upon our journey link`d together let us go.
