مطوفًا في الفكر (بعد قراءة لهيجل) مطوفًا أفكر في الكون، رأيت القليل الذي هو خير يتقدم بخطى ثابتة نحو الخلود. ورأيت الكثير الذي هو شرّ يمضي سريعًا: ينحلّ … - Walt Whitman

And I say to mankind, be not curious about god, For I who am curious about each am not curious about God, (No array of terms can say how much I am at peace about God & about death.) I hear & behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least, Nor do I understand there can be more wonderful than myself. Why should I wish to see God better than this day? I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, & each moment then, in the faces of men & women I see God, & in my own face in the glass, I find letters from God dropt in the street, & every one is signed by God's name, & I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoever I go, others will punctually come for ever & ever.

O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you;
As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.

am to think of you when I sit alone, or wake at night alone; I am to wait — I do not doubt I am to meet you again; I am to see to it that I do not lose you.
