Lines Inspired by Walt Whitman
Mar 15, 2023
And once more, with categorizing power dulled,
The partisanship diminished, the bipolarity broken,
The World in whole presents itself;
Impressions of past and present lay upon me;
Music made today is a sweet ornament
For paintings by masters in the past.
The labels of my identity,
The tags on which someone else recognized first
Are nothing to me. Parts of a play,
Loose clothing, too small for the wearer
Who contains the World.
