Or I guess the grass is itself a child, the produced babe of the vegetation. - Walt Whitman

To have great poets,
there must be great audiences.

The past and present wilt — I have fill'd them, emptied them. And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.
