unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated
persons and with the young and with the mother of families, read these
leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine
all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever
insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have
the richest fluency, not only in its words but in the silent lines of its
lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and
joint of your body. -- Walt Whitman 1819-1892
