I will not descend among professors and capitalists. - Walt Whitman

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

The American bards shall be marked for generosity and affection and for encouraging competitors… . The great poets are also to be known by the absence in them of tricks and by the justification of perfect personal candor… . How beautiful is candor! All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.

I am an acme of things accomplish'd, and I an encloser of things to be.
