pkern Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 An excerpt from the New York muse himself, Walt Whitman, who is still so much with us, in the waters and walls of this beautiful city, in the undying pulse of the crowds that teem still over the tired streets...Crossing Brooklyn Ferry (an excerpt)Flood-tide below me! I watch you face to face; Clouds of the west! Sun there half an hour high! I see you also face to face. Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes! How curious you are to me! On the ferry-boats, the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning home, are more curious to me than you suppose; And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence, are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose. It avails not, neither time or place—distance avails not; I am with you, you men and women of a generation, or ever so many generations hence; I project myself—also I return—I am with you, and know how it is. Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt; Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd; Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d; Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood, yet was hurried; We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate henceforward; Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves from us; We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us; We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also; You furnish your parts toward eternity; Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul.
