Leaves of Grass

There is that in me....I do not know what it is....but I know it is in me.
[...]I do not know it....it is without name....it is a word unsaid,
It is not in any dictionary or utterance or symbol.
[...]Do you see O my brothers and sisters?
It is not chaos or death....it is form and union and plan....it is eternal life....it is happiness.


Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
1855
