Thou visor d, vast, unspeakable show and lesson ! And the world itself is an Open Road, "the long brown path before me, " he calls it, " leading wherever I choose. " Only as adding to thsJree- dom and spaciousness of this sliding panorama can the "cataloguing" portions of Whitman s book find any justification. From these material images it is an easy transition to the vision "Of the progress of the souls of men and women along the grand roads of the universe. " Out of the infinite past he behol...ds himself climbing, as it were, up the long gradations of time: Rise after rise bow the phantoms behind me, Afar down I see the huge first Nothing, I know I was even there, I waited unseen and always, and slept through the lethargic mist, And took my time, and took no hurt from the fetid carbon. . . . Cycles ferried my cradle, rowing and rowing like cheerful boatmen, For room to me stars kept aside in their own rings, They sent influences to look after what was to hold me. And in the future, the soul, like Columbus dream ing of ever new worlds, perceives for itself other unending voyages : WALT WHITMAN 2O5 As if some miracle, some hand divine unseal d my eyes, Shadowy vast shapes smile through the air and sky, And on the distant waves sail countless ships, And anthems in new tongues I hear saluting me.
