Crezco por igual en las regiones vastas y en las estrechas, crezco por igual entren los negros y los blancos. - Walt Whitman

Expression of speech .. in what is written or said forget not that silence is also expressive,
That anguish as hot as the hottest and contempt as cold as the coldest may be without words,
That the true adoration is likewise without words and without kneeling.

The law of the past can't be eluded,
The law of the present and future cannot be eluded,
The law of the living cannot be eluded,

<p>
This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson
done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the
themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.
