WHO includes diversity, and is Nature, <br /> Who is the amplitude of the earth, and the coarseness and sexuality <br /> of the earth, and the great charity of the earth, and the <br /> equilibrium also, <br /> Who has not look'd forth from the windows, the eyes, for nothing, or <br /> whose brain held audience with messengers for nothing; <br /> Who contains believers and disbelievers--Who is the most majestic <br /> lover; <br /> Who holds duly his or her triune proportion of realism, spiritualism, <br /> and of the aesthetic, or intellectual, <br /> Who, having consider'd the Body, finds all its organs and parts good; <br /> Who, out of the theory of the earth, and of his or her body, <br /> understands by subtle analogies all other theories, <br /> The theory of a city, a poem, and of the large politics of These <br /> States; <br /> Who believes not only in our globe, with its sun and moon, but in <br /> other globes, with their suns and moons; <br /> Who, constructing the house of himself or herself, not for a day, but <br /> for all time, sees races, eras, dates, generations, 10 <br /> The past, the future, dwelling there, like space, inseparable <br /> together.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kosmos/
