Leaves of Grass.
38.My Soul! if I realize you, I have satisfaction,
Animals and vegetables! if I realize you, I have
satisfaction,
Laws of the earth and air! if I realize you, I have
satisfaction.
39.I cannot define my satisfaction, yet it is so,
I cannot define my life, yet it is so.
40.O it comes to me now!
I swear I think now that everything without
exception has an eternal Soul!
The trees have, rooted in the ground! the weeds of
the sea have! the animals!
41.I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
That the exquisite scheme is for it, and the nebulous
float is for it, and the cohering is for it!
And all preparation is for it! and identity is for it!
and life and death are altogether for it!
