Seite 96 - For You O Democracy COME, I will make the continent indissoluble, I will make the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon, I will make divine magnetic lands, With the love of comrades, With the life-long love of comrades. I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies, I will make inseparable cities with their arms about each other's necks, By the love of comrades, By the manly love of comrades.
Seite 670 - ... men and women and all that concerns them are unspeakably perfect miracles all referring to all and each distinct and in its place. It is also not consistent with the reality of the soul to admit that there is anything in the known universe more divine than men and women.
Seite 669 - The greatest poet has less a marked style and is more the channel of thoughts and things without increase or diminution and is the free channel of himself. He swears to his art — I will not be meddlesome, I will not have in my writing any elegance, or effect, or originality, to hang in the way between me and the rest like curtains.
Seite 571 - The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face?
Seite 665 - ... the air they have of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors— the fluency of their speech— their delight in music, the sure symptom of manly tenderness and native elegance of soul . . . their good temper and openhandedness— the...
Seite 674 - Semitic muscle into its merits and demerits . . . and if he be not himself the age transfigured . . . and if to him is not opened the eternity which gives similitude to all periods and locations and processes and animate and inanimate forms, and which is the bond of time, and rises up from its inconceivable...
Seite 674 - ... divides not the living from the dead or the righteous from the unrighteous, is satisfied with the present, matches every thought or act by its correlative, knows no possible forgiveness or deputed atonement . . knows that the young man who composedly...
Seite 111 - One effort more, my altar this bleak sand ; That Thou O God my life hast lighted, With ray of light, steady, ineffable, vouchsafed of Thee, Light rare untellable, lighting the very light, Beyond all signs, descriptions, languages ; For that O God, be it my latest word, here on my knees, Old, poor, and paralyzed, I thank Thee.
Seite 669 - The greatest poet does not only dazzle his rays over character and scenes and passions, — he finally ascends and finishes all : he exhibits the pinnacles that no man can tell what they are for or what is beyond — he glows a moment on the extremest verge.
Seite 154 - Amor y víspera de amor y recuerdos intolerables, El sueño como un tesoro enterrado, el dadivoso azar Y la memoria, que el hombre no mira sin vértigo, Todo eso te fue dado, y también El antiguo alimento de los héroes: La falsía, la derrota, la humillación. En vano te hemos prodigado el océano, En vano el sol, que vieron los maravillados ojos de Whitman; Has gastado los años y te han gastado, Y todavía no has escrito el poema.
