  92. p. 14, line 25Till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn.
  93. p. 15, line 4That they turn from gazing after and down the road,
  94. p. 15, line 31Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and joy and knowledge that pass all the art and argument of the earth;
  95. p. 15, line 32And I know that the hand of God is the elderhand of my own,
  96. p. 16, line 1And I know that the spirit of God is the eldest brother of my own,
  97. p. 16, line 2And that all the men ever born are also my brothers . . . . and the women my sisters and lovers,
  98. p. 16, line 3And that a kelson of the creation is love;
  99. p. 16, line 12Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose?
  100. p. 17, line 18For me all that have been boys and that love women,
  101. p. 17, line 19For me the man that is proud and feels how it stings to be slighted,
  102. p. 17, line 21For me lips that have smiled, eyes that have shed tears,
  103. p. 18, line 8The impassive stones that receive and return so many echoes,
  104. p. 18, line 32You should have been with us that day round the chowder-kettle.
  105. p. 19, line 10And gave him a room that entered from my own, and gave him some coarse clean clothes,
  106. p. 20, line 12The negro that drives the huge dray of the stoneyard . . . . steady and tall he stands poised on one leg on the stringpiece,
  107. p. 20, line 20Oxen that rattle the yoke or halt in the shade, what is that you express in your eyes?
  108. p. 21, line 11Of men that live among cattle or taste of the ocean or woods,
  109. p. 21, line 16Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me,
  110. p. 22, line 9The Wolverine sets traps on the creek that helps fill the Huron,
  111. p. 22, line 24The drover watches his drove, he sings out to them that would stray,
  112. p. 23, line 13The torches shine in the dark that hangs on the Chattahoochee or Altamahaw;
  113. p. 23, line 24Stuffed with the stuff that is coarse, and stuffed with the stuff that is fine,
  114. p. 24, line 19This is the grass that grows wherever the land is and the water is,
  115. p. 24, line 20This is the common air that bathes the globe.
  116. p. 24, line 28Have you heard that it was good to gain the day?
  117. p. 25, line 3And to all generals that lost engagements, and all overcome heroes, and the numberless unknown heroes equal to the greatest heroes known.
  118. p. 25, line 25I do not snivel that snivel the world over,
  119. p. 25, line 26That months are vacuums and the ground but wallow and filth,
  120. p. 25, line 27That life is a suck and a sell, and nothing remains at the end but threadbare crape and tears.
  121. p. 26, line 13I see that the elementary laws never apologize,
  122. p. 26, line 15I exist as I am, that is enough,
  123. p. 26, line 18One world is aware, and by far the largest to me, and that is myself,
  124. p. 26, line 33I show that size is only developement.
  125. p. 27, line 3I am he that walks with the tender and growing night;
  126. p. 27, line 18Thruster holding me tight and that I hold tight!
  127. p. 27, line 32Extoler of amies and those that sleep in each others' arms.
  128. p. 27, line 34Shall I make my list of things in the house and skip the house that supports them?
  129. p. 28, line 5I moisten the roots of all that has grown.
  130. p. 28, line 8I step up to say that what we do is right and what we affirm is right . . . . and some is only the ore of right,
  131. p. 28, line 12This minute that comes to me over the past decillions,
  132. p. 28, line 18A word of the faith that never balks,
  133. p. 29, line 2And beat the gong of revolt, and stop with fugitives and them that plot and conspire.
  134. p. 29, line 18And of the threads that connect the stars—and of wombs, and of the fatherstuff,
  135. p. 30, line 6Breast that presses against other breasts it shall be you,
  136. p. 30, line 17I dote on myself . . . . there is that lot of me, and all so luscious,
  137. p. 30, line 22That I eat and drink is spectacle enough for the great authors and schools,
  138. p. 30, line 32The heaved challenge from the east that moment over my head,
  139. p. 31, line 26Talkative young ones to those that like them . . . . the recitative of fish-pedlars and fruit-pedlars . . . . the loud laugh of workpeople at their meals,
  140. p. 32, line 18And that we call Being.
  141. p. 32, line 19To be in any form, what is that?
  142. p. 33, line 33And they are to branch boundlessly out of that lesson until it becomes omnific,
  143. p. 34, line 29Not one kneels to another nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
  144. p. 34, line 34I must have passed that way untold times ago and negligently dropt them,
  145. p. 35, line 3Picking out here one that shall be my amie,
  146. p. 38, line 2Carrying the crescent child that carries its own full mother in its belly;
  147. p. 39, line 11The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the fence, blowing and covered with sweat,
  148. p. 39, line 12The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck,
  149. p. 41, line 7And that is the tale of the murder of the four hundred and twelve young men,
  150. p. 41, line 8And that was a jetblack sunrise.
  151. p. 42, line 14Near by the corpse of the child that served in the cabin,
  152. p. 42, line 16The flames spite of all that could be done flickering aloft and below,
  153. p. 43, line 18That I could forget the mockers and insults!
  154. p. 43, line 19That I could forget the trickling tears and the blows of the bludgeons and hammers!
  155. p. 43, line 20That I could look with a separate look on my own crucifixion and bloody crowning!
  156. p. 44, line 3And know that they who have eyes are divine, and the blind and lame are equally divine,
  157. p. 44, line 4And that my steps drag behind yours yet go before them,
  158. p. 45, line 1I do not ask who you are . . . . that is not important to me,
  159. p. 45, line 23It is middling well as far as it goes . . . . but is that all?
  160. p. 47, line 5Ever the old inexplicable query . . . . ever that thorned thumb—that breath of itches and thirsts,
  161. p. 47, line 18They who piddle and patter here in collars and tailed coats . . . . I am aware who they are . . . . and that they are not worms or fleas,
  162. p. 47, line 22Every thought that flounders in me the same flounders in them.
  163. p. 48, line 17Accepting the gospels, accepting him that was crucified, knowing assuredly that he is divine,
  164. p. 48, line 22One of that centripetal and centrifugal gang,
  165. p. 49, line 9Nor the little child that peeped in at the door and then drew back and was never seen again,
  166. p. 49, line 15Nor any thing in the myriads of spheres, nor one of the myriads of myriads that inhabit them,
  167. p. 49, line 16Nor the present, nor the least wisp that is known.
  168. p. 49, line 27That which fills its period and place is equal to any.
  169. p. 50, line 15Faithful and friendly the arms that have helped me.
  170. p. 51, line 20See ever so far . . . . there is limitless space outside of that,
  171. p. 51, line 21Count ever so much . . . . there is limitless time around that.
  172. p. 51, line 23I know I have the best of time and space—and that I was never measured, and never will be measured.
  173. p. 52, line 4Not I, not any one else can travel that road for you,
  174. p. 52, line 16And my spirit said No, we level that lift to pass and continue beyond.
  175. p. 52, line 18I answer that I cannot answer . . . . you must find out for yourself.
  176. p. 52, line 29He that by me spreads a wider breast than my own proves the width of my own,
  177. p. 53, line 6Preferring scars and faces pitted with smallpox over all latherers and those that keep out of the sun.
  178. p. 53, line 21The woodman that takes his axe and jug with him shall take me with him all day,
  179. p. 53, line 23In vessels that sail my words must sail . . . . I go with fishermen and seamen, and love them,
  180. p. 53, line 29I have said that the soul is not more than the body,
  181. p. 53, line 30And I have said that the body is not more than the soul,
  182. p. 54, line 15And I leave them where they are, for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever.
  183. p. 54, line 20And as to you corpse I think you are good manure, but that does not offend me,
  184. p. 54, line 27Of the turbid pool that lies in the autumn forest,
  185. p. 54, line 28Of the moon that descends the steeps of the soughing twilight,
  186. p. 54, line 29Toss, sparkles of day and dusk . . . . toss on the black stems that decay in the muck,
  187. p. 55, line 4There is that in me . . . . I do not know what it is . . . . but I know it is in me.
  188. p. 55, line 22I concentrate toward them that are nigh . . . . I wait on the door-slab.
  189. p. 57, line 7I do not thank you for liking me as I am, and liking the touch of me . . . . I know that it is good for you to do so.
  190. p. 57, line 10Were I to you as the boss employing and paying you, would that satisfy you?
  191. p. 57, line 16If you are a workman or workwoman I stand as nigh as the nighest that works in the same shop,
  192. p. 58, line 7Is it you then that thought yourself less?
  193. p. 58, line 8Is it you that thought the President greater than you? or the rich better off than you? or the educated wiser than you?
  194. p. 58, line 9Because you are greasy or pimpled—or that you was once drunk, or a thief, or diseased, or rheumatic, or a prostitute—or are so now—or from frivolity or impotence—or that you are no scholar, and never saw your name in print . . . . do you give in that you are any less immortal?
  195. p. 58, line 14I see not merely that you are polite or whitefaced . . . . married or single . . . . citizens of old states or citizens of new states . . . . eminent in some profession . . . . a lady or gentleman in a parlor . . . . or dressed in the jail uniform . . . . or pulpit uniform,
  196. p. 59, line 9There is something that comes home to one now and perpetually,
  197. p. 59, line 18The sun and stars that float in the open air . . . . the appleshaped earth and we upon it . . . . surely the drift of them is something grand;
  198. p. 59, line 19I do not know what it is except that it is grand, and that it is happiness,
  199. p. 59, line 20And that the enclosing purport of us here is not a speculation, or bon-mot or reconnoissance,
  200. p. 59, line 21And that it is not something which by luck may turn out well for us, and without luck must be a failure for us,
  201. p. 59, line 23The light and shade—the curious sense of body and identity—the greed that with perfect complaisance devours all things—the endless pride and outstretching of man—unspeakable joys and sorrows,
  202. p. 59, line 24The wonder every one sees in every one else he sees . . . . and the wonders that fill each minute of time forever and each acre of surface and space forever,
  203. p. 60, line 2Have you reckoned the landscape took substance and form that it might be painted in a picture?
  204. p. 60, line 3Or men and women that they might be written of, and songs sung?
  205. p. 60, line 7Or that the growth of seeds is for agricultural tables or agriculture itself?
  206. p. 61, line 10Your person and every particle that relates to your person,
  207. p. 61, line 17The panes of the windows and all that appears through them . . . . the going forth in the morning and the aimless spending of the day;
  208. p. 61, line 18(What is it that you made money? what is it that you got what you wanted?)
  209. p. 63, line 24But I say that none lead to greater or sadder or happier than those lead to.
  210. p. 64, line 7When the pulpit descends and goes instead of the carver that carved the supporting desk,
  211. p. 65, line 7To think that the sun rose in the east . . . . that men and women were flexible and real and alive . . . . that every thing was real and alive;
  212. p. 65, line 8To think that you and I did not see feel think nor bear our part,
  213. p. 65, line 9To think that we are now here and bear our part.
  214. p. 66, line 3To think that the rivers will come to flow, and the snow fall, and fruits ripen . . and act upon others as upon us now . . . . yet not act upon us;
  215. p. 66, line 7I see one building the house that serves him a few years . . . . or seventy or eighty years at most;
  216. p. 66, line 8I see one building the house that serves him longer than that.
  217. p. 66, line 10He that was President was buried, and he that is now President shall surely be buried.

  221. p. 68, line 1It is not to diffuse you that you were born of your mother and father—it is to identify you,
  222. p. 68, line 2It is not that you should be undecided, but that you should be decided;
  223. p. 68, line 5The threads that were spun are gathered . . . . the weft crosses the warp . . . . the pattern is systematic.
  224. p. 68, line 8The guest that was coming . . . . he waited long for reasons . . . . he is now housed,

  226. p. 68, line 20But there is more account than that . . . . there is strict account of all.
  227. p. 69, line 1I have dreamed that we are not to be changed so much . . . . nor the law of us changed;
  228. p. 69, line 2I have dreamed that heroes and good-doers shall be under the present and past law,
  229. p. 69, line 3And that murderers and drunkards and liars shall be under the present and past law;
  230. p. 69, line 4For I have dreamed that the law they are under now is enough.
  231. p. 69, line 5And I have dreamed that the satisfaction is not so much changed . . . . and that there is no life without satisfaction;
  232. p. 69, line 8We cannot be stopped at a given point . . . . that is no satisfaction;
  233. p. 69, line 9To show us a good thing or a few good things for a space of time—that is no satisfaction;
  234. p. 69, line 17The whole universe indicates that it is good,
  235. p. 69, line 18The past and the present indicate that it is good.
  236. p. 69, line 29I swear I see now that every thing has an eternal soul!
  237. p. 70, line 2That the exquisite scheme is for it, and the nebulous float is for it, and the cohering is for it,

  240. p. 71, line 4And the male that loves unrequited sleeps;
  241. p. 71, line 5The head of the moneymaker that plotted all day sleeps,

  243. p. 71, line 26The emigrant and the exile . . the criminal that stood in the box,
  244. p. 72, line 5I feel the hot moisture yet that he left me.
  245. p. 72, line 14Pier that I saw dimly last night when I looked from the windows,
  246. p. 72, line 17And am curious to know where my feet stand . . . . and what is this flooding me, childhood or manhood . . . . and the hunger that crosses the bridge between.
  247. p. 73, line 1It seems to me that everything in the light and air ought to be happy;
  248. p. 73, line 6I hate the swift-running eddies that would dash him headforemost on the rocks.
  249. p. 74, line 22I have been wronged . . . . I am oppressed . . . . I hate him that oppresses me,

  258. p. 76, line 22The sweatings and fevers stop . . the throat that was unsound is sound . . the lungs of the consumptive are resumed . . the poor distressed head is free,
  259. p. 77, line 14The male is perfect and that of the female is perfect.
  260. p. 79, line 3He was a frequent gunner and fisher . . . he sailed his boat himself . . . he had a fine one presented to him by a shipjoiner . . . . he had fowling-pieces, presented to him by men that loved him;

  262. p. 79, line 6I have perceived that to be with those I like is enough,
  263. p. 79, line 11There is something in staying close to men and women and looking on them and in the contact and odor of them that pleases the soul well,
  264. p. 80, line 10The fiercest largest passions . . bliss that is utmost and sorrow that is utmost become him well . . . . pride is for him,

  272. p. 83, line 13Snakes nest in that mouth . . I hear the sibilant threat.
  273. p. 84, line 5I knew of the agents that emptied and broke my brother,
  274. p. 86, line 8He places his own city, times, reminiscences, parents, brothers and sisters, associations employment and politics, so that the rest never shame them afterward, nor assume to command them.

  279. p. 87, line 3And the soldiers suppose him to be a captain . . . . and the sailors that he has followed the sea,
  280. p. 87, line 6No matter what the work is, that he is one to follow it or has followed it,

  284. p. 89, line 27But there is one thing that belongs here . . . . Shall I tell you what it is, gentlemen of Boston?
  285. p. 90, line 8The committee open the box and set up the regal ribs and glue those that will not stay,
  286. p. 90, line 14And the first object he looked upon and received with wonder or pity or love or dread, that object he became,
  287. p. 90, line 15And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day . . . . or for many years or stretching cycles of years.
  288. p. 91, line 2And the schoolmistress that passed on her way to the school . . and the friendly boys that passed . . and the quarrelsome boys . . and the tidy and freshcheeked girls . . and the barefoot negro boy and girl,

  297. p. 92, line 19Is it wonderful that I should be immortal? as every one is immortal,
  298. p. 92, line 22And that I grew six feet high . . . . and that I have become a man thirty-six years old in 1855 . . . . and that I am here anyhow—are all equally wonderful;
  299. p. 92, line 23And that my soul embraces you this hour, and we affect each other without ever seeing each other, and never perhaps to see each other, is every bit as wonderful:
