A Song

...1
COME, I will make the continent indissoluble; 
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon; 
I will make divine magnetic lands, 
 With the love of comrades, 
 With the life-long love of comrades.

2
I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America, and along the
 shores
 of
 the great lakes, and all over the prairies; 
I will make inseparable cit...Read more of this...

Canzone I

...next recall,Through many a distant and deserted glen,That long I mourn'd my indissoluble thrall.At length my malady seem'd ended, whenI to my earthly frame return'd again,Haply but greater grief therein to feel;Still following my desire with such fond zeal[Pg 24]That ...Read more of this...

...plants
Of its own wealth and wisdom the old scorn. 

XIV 

Though the sick beast infect us, we are fraught
Forever with indissoluble Truth,
Wherein redress reveals itself divine,
Transitional, transcendent. Grief and loss,
Disease and desolation, are the dreams
Of wasted excellence; and every dream
Has in it something of an ageless fact
That flouts deformity and laughs at years. 

XV 

We lack the courage to be where we are: -- 
We love too much to travel on old roads,
To tri...Read more of this...

Perseus: The Triumph of Wit Over Suffering

...ne shows you in the prodigious act
Of digesting what centuries alone digest:
The mammoth, lumbering statuary of sorrow,
Indissoluble enough to riddle the guts
Of a whale with holes and holes, and bleed him white
Into salt seas. Hercules had a simple time,
Rinsing those stables: a baby's tears would do it.
But who'd volunteer to gulp the Laocoon,
The Dying Gaul and those innumerable pietas
Festering on the dim walls of Europe's chapels,
Museums and sepulchers? You.
 You

So Long

....

I announce that the identity of These States is a single identity only; 
I announce the Union more and more compact, indissoluble; 
I announce splendors and majesties to make all the previous politics of the earth
 insignificant. 

I announce adhesiveness—I say it shall be limitless, unloosen’d; 
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.

I announce a man or woman coming—perhaps you are the one, (So long!) 
I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, ...Read more of this...

Song of the Exposition

...h and Death?) 

While we rehearse our measureless wealth, it is for thee, dear Mother!
We own it all and several to-day indissoluble in Thee; 
—Think not our chant, our show, merely for products gross, or lucre—it is for Thee, the
 Soul, electric, spiritual! 
Our farms, inventions, crops, we own in Thee! Cities and States in Thee! 
Our freedom all in Thee! our very lives in Thee!...Read more of this...

Starting from Paumanok

...wamp-cedars, 
Solitary, singing in the West, I strike up for a New World. 

2Victory, union, faith, identity, time,
The indissoluble compacts, riches, mystery, 
Eternal progress, the kosmos, and the modern reports. 

This, then, is life; 
Here is what has come to the surface after so many throes and convulsions. 

How curious! how real!
Underfoot the divine soil—overhead the sun. 

See, revolving, the globe; 
The ancestor-continents, away, group’d together; 
The present and f...Read more of this...

Those Graves In Rome

...writ in water." On a warm day,
I stood here with my two oldest friends.
I thought, then, that the three of us would be
Indissoluble at the end, & also that
We would all die, of course. And not die.
And maybe we should have joined hands at that
Moment. We didn't. All we did was follow
A lame man in a rumpled suit who climbed
A slight incline of graves blurring into
The passing marble of other graves to visit
The vacant home of whatever is not left
Of Shelley & Trelawney. That...Read more of this...

To the Muse of Poetry

...n bright Heaven, to hear my vow; 
From thy blest wing a plume I'll steal, 
And with its burning point record 
Each firm indissoluble word, 
And with my lips the proud oath seal! 

I SWEAR;­OH, YE, whose souls like mine 
Beam with poetic rays divine, 
Attend my voice;­whate'er my FATE 
In this precarious wild'ring state, 
Whether the FIENDS with rancorous ire 
Strike at my heart's unsullied fire: 
While busy ENVY'S recreant guile 
Calls from my cheek THE PITYING SMILE; 
Or jea...Read more of this...
