an excerpt

the last 8 lines from Walt Whitman's, 'Passage To India'


Sail forth—steer for the deep waters only,
Reckless, O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou
....with me,
For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared
....to go,
And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.

O my brave soul!
O farther farther sail!
O daring joy, but safe! are they not all
....the seas of God?
O farther, farther, farther sail!
