Seer
“...more lasting thou than they.”
A
singular prophet,
decisive
and firm
in belief:
one
collected
in the thought
and the power
of what
is
understood.

“Grand is the seen, the light, to me--grand are the sky
and stars,
Grand is the earth, and grand are lasting time and space,
And grand their laws, so multiform, puzzling, evolutionary;
“But grander far the unseen soul of me, comprehending, endowing all those,
Lighting the light, the sky and stars, delving the earth, sailing the sea,
(What are all those, indeed, without thee, unseen soul? of what amount without thee?)
More evolutionary, vast, puzzling, O my soul!
More multiform far--more lasting thou than they.”
from Goodbye My Fancy
Walt Whitman
