Additional quotes by Walt Whitman
I sing the Equalities, modern or old,
I sing the endless finales of things;
I say Nature continues — Glory continues;
I praise with electric voice;
For I do not see one imperfection in the universe;
And I do not see one cause or result lamentable at last in the universe.
O setting sun! though the time has come,
I still warble under you, if none else does, unmitigated adoration.
