ARE you the new person drawn toward me? <br /> To begin with, take warning--I am surely far different from what you <br /> suppose; <br /> Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal? <br /> Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover? <br /> Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd satisfaction? <br /> Do you think I am trusty and faithful? <br /> Do you see no further than this façade--this smooth and tolerant <br /> manner of me? <br /> Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground toward a real heroic <br /> man? <br /> Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-the-new-person-drawn-toward-me/
