Chapter 30 29

1 I say that whatever pleases the most perfect man is ultimately good. 2 I say develop a great intellect, a great mind; if I ever Contrary opinions have been expressed, which I withdraw hereby. 3 I said that human beings should not occupy the property of human beings; I say that the least developed person in the world is to himself or herself as the most developed person is to As extraordinary as he or she is. 4 I say that wherever freedom draws no blood from slavery, there slavery draws from freedom draw blood, I speak of the good and noble cause in the United States, and spread it from here to the world

world. 5 I say that the form or aspect of man is so great that it can never be described as comical laugh; I say that nothing too much is allowed to be adorned, Anything without decoration is the most beautiful, And exaggeration will have its karma in your own physiology as well as that of others; I said that a child with a handsome appearance can only be openly popular in the natural form and the face and body of a person. Form is conceived and born where it is never parodied; I say geniuses don't need to turn to romance anymore, (For the fact has justly shown how mean all romances seem.)

6 I speak the word country without fear—I would not want another country; I say discuss everything, uncover everything - I advocate open discussion of every issue; I say the United States is hopeless without innovators -- without free speech Because, there is no ear willing to hear these words; And I declare that it is an honor to this United States that it has Suggestions, reforms, new ideas and doctrines of men and women are listened to, Every era has its own evolution. 7 I have said many times that matter and soul are great, and at the same time everything depends on the body;

Now I'm going to do the reverse, asserting that everything is determined by aesthetics and intellect. And asserts that criticism is great—and beauty the greatest of all; At the same time I assert that everything is determined by the spirit—the spirit reigns supreme. 8 Take a man or a woman (it doesn't matter which - I'll pick even the humblest,) Take him or her, and I'll lay out the whole law now, I say every right, political or otherwise, on the same terms as anyone must apply equally to him or her under all circumstances. The most prudent are the wisest, Only the one who doesn't stop halfway wins.

Everything seems to be determined. Since it is determined, it must be produced and continued. go. Whichever general has a good army in mind, he has a good army; He enjoys himself, or she enjoys himself, is happy, But I tell you, just as you cannot conceive a child by someone else, you cannot rely on happy with others. Walking majestically alone, surrounded by a crowd, They all seemed to be peace—not a single soldier or servant among them. A man walked by majestically, he was old, but his eyes were still black and his white hair was still thick, Healthy strength is the most notable feature,

His countenance attracts everyone whom it touches like lightning.The three old men slowly Passed by, followed by three others, followed by three more, They were beautiful--one of every three took the arms of the next two, They exude fragrance all the way as they walk. Whose is that weeping face looking out of the window? Why is that face full of sad tears? Is it mourning some grand dry cemetery? Is it going to wet the loess of those graves? I want to take a bird's egg out of the lonely robin in the garden, I want to break off a gooseberry from the old bush in the garden and go out into the world

Sermon; You will see that I would not meet even a heathen or despiser, You will see how I challenge priests and strike them down, You'll see me showing off a red tomato and a white boulder I picked up from the sea Yao. character—fresh, natural, abundant, each for himself or Herself, Nature and soul manifested—America and liberty manifested—of which best art, Among them are self-respect, cleanliness, compassion, the opportunity to enjoy them, Among them were physique, intellect, conviction—enough to command an army, or write an This book—maybe there are more, young people, laborers, poor people, nothing less than

The rest—perhaps better than the rest, Nor is the wealth of the universe greater than its wealth; For there is nothing in the whole universe like a man's or a woman's day-to-day Act more touchingly, on any occasion, in any part of the United States state. I don't think I'm walking along the seashore alone here, But the one I feel with me when I walk by the sea, As I leaned into the dim twilight--the man was all gone, And the ones that annoyed me showed up. Thinking of what I wrote for myself - as if it wasn't a resume; Thinking of history—as if, however complete, such a thing is more

Come is still incomplete; As if those fragments, the records of the various nations, might also hold as the previous poems Long; As if here is not the sum total of all countries and the lives of all heroes. Solid, mocking, rolling celestial body! Lord of all things, actual matter!I finally accept your terms; For all my ideal dreams, and for me as lover and hero, Stop doing hands-on, crude inspections. Immersed in the aroma of war -- beautiful flag! (If those days when armies were needed, when fleets were needed, come back again,) Come to hear you call sailors and soldiers!Beautiful banner!

Hear the footsteps of millions of responders! O those ships they armed with joy! To see you leap and greet from the towering mast! Come to see you looking down at the soldiers on the deck! Banners like women's eyes. Not that my enemies are constantly violating me—I am not afraid of them hurting my sense of self-esteem; But those lovers I loved with wanton--Look: they ruled me! look!O me defenseless, helpless, deprived of power! Very pitifully, crawling at their feet. Today, O soul!I give you a wonderful mirror; It has long suffered from darkness, stain, and shadow—but now the shadow is over, and the stain

point has disappeared; .. Behold, soul!It is now a clean and bright mirror. Faithfully showing you everything in the world. Some teach only pleasant lessons of peace and security; But I lecture my loved ones on war and death, Let them be ready to meet the invaders at any time. America, let me sing a song before I go America, let me sing a song before I go. First I will sing, with the gallantry of a trumpet, For you - the future. I want to sow a seed for your endless national spirit; I will adorn your whole body and soul; I want to point out the true federation far ahead, and how it will be accomplished. (I try to carve my way to the house, But I leave the dwelling itself to future generations. ) I sing of faith - and countermeasures, For life and nature are not great only for the present, Will be made greater by things to come, I will sing for you according to that formula. (Midnight, November 22, 1875 - Saturn conjunct Mars) After a break, mid-night reading here, Let the great stars behold--all Orion's stars behold, And silent heptads--and Saturn and red-hot Mars both look on; meditating, reading my own poetry, after a break, (sorrow and Death is familiar,) How proud you are when you are about to close the book!How happy!when i found them So well have withstood the test of death and night! There is also the double harmony of Saturn and Mars! Is it first or last?The first is often delightful, and perhaps seems Then, firmly into port, Aged and weary after long adventures, Storm-beaten and battered from many battles, with its original sails gone, Replaced, or repaired several times, In the end, I just saw the beauty of that boat. Two brooks side by side, Two coordinating, parallel, gurgling streams, They are friends, traveling companions, chatting all the way. To go to the sea of ​​eternity, These ripples, turbulent waves, Death and life, object and subject, rushing streams rush by, reality and ideal, Day and night alternate, the tide ebbs and flows, (The present, the future, and the past are intertwined like a rope.) On you, whoever you are, just perusing my book. In myself—in the whole world—these ripples run, Everything, go to the mysterious ocean. (O waves of longing! Your lips are kissing! How broad is your chest, with its outstretched arms, the sea firmly outstretched coast! )
