ONE'S-SELF I sing--a simple, separate Person; <br /> Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse. <br /> <br /> Of Physiology from top to toe I sing; <br /> Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse--I say <br /> the Form complete is worthier far; <br /> The Female equally with the male I sing. <br /> <br /> Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, <br /> Cheerful--for freest action form'd, under the laws divine, <br /> The Modern Man I sing.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-s-self-i-sing/
