From
Leaves of Grass, by
Walt Whitman:
All you are doing and saying is to
America dangled
mirages,
You have not learn'd of
Nature — of the politics of Nature you have not learn'd the great
amplitude,
rectitude,
impartiality,
You have not seen that only such as they are for these States,
And that what is less than they must sooner or later lift off from these States.
