Description
Closer yet I approach you;
What thought you have of me, I had as much of you, I laid in my stores in advance;
I consider'd long and seriously of you before you were born.
Who was to know what should come home to me?
Who knows but I am enjoying this?
Who knows but I am as good as looking at you now, for all you cannot see me?
It is not you alone, nor I alone;
Not a few races, nor a few generations, nor a few centuries;
It is that each came, or comes, or shall come, from its due emission,
From the general centre of all, and forming a part of all:
Everything indicates, the smallest does, and the largest does;
A necessary film envelopes all, and envelopes the Soul for a proper time.
-Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
