LAWS for Creations, <br /> For strong artists and leaders--for fresh broods of teachers, and <br /> perfect literats for America, <br /> For noble savans, and coming musicians. <br /> <br /> All must have reference to the ensemble of the world, and the compact <br /> truth of the world; <br /> There shall be no subject too pronounced--All works shall illustrate <br /> the divine law of indirections. <br /> <br /> What do you suppose Creation is? <br /> What do you suppose will satisfy the Soul, except to walk free, and <br /> own no superior? <br /> What do you suppose I would intimate to you in a hundred ways, but <br /> that man or woman is as good as God? <br /> And that there is no God any more divine than Yourself? <br /> And that that is what the oldest and newest myths finally mean? 10 <br /> And that you or any one must approach Creations through such laws?<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laws-for-creations/
