A Dedication "The
daily routine of your or any man's life -- the shop, yard, store,
or factory; |
|||
| "In
that and them
the heft of the heaviest -- in them far more than you estimated, and far
less also; "In them realities for you and me -- in them poems for you and me; "In them, not yourself -- you and your Soul enclose all things, regardless of estimation; "In them the development good -- in them, all themes and hints." |
 |
 |
"I
do not affirm
what you see beyond is futile -- I do advise you to stop; "I do not say leadings you thought great are not great; "But I say that none lead to greater, than those lead to." |
| "Will
you seek afar off?
you surely come back at last, "In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, "In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest; "Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but in this place -- not for another hour, but this hour;" |
|
 |
"Man
in the first
you see or touch -- always in friend, brother, nighest neighbor -- Woman
and mover, lover, wife;" |
| "The
popular tastes
and employments taking precedence in poems or anywhere, "You workwomen and workmen of these States having your own divine and strong life, "And all else giving place to men and women like you." |
