these 321 Back to T
- p. 11, line 17These chants for thee, the eternal march of thee.
- p. 11, line 25These recitatives for thee,—my book and the war are one,
- p. 13, line 1These with the past,
- p. 13, line 22Nor these the universes, they the universes,
- p. 14, line 26The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion,
- p. 15, line 12(Ay through the world, urged by these songs,
- p. 16, line 11A river man, or a man of the woods or of any farm-life of these States or of the coast, or the lakes or Kanada,
- p. 20, line 16In the name of these States shall I scorn the antique?
- p. 20, line 17Why these are the children of the antique to justify it.
- p. 21, line 10I will make a song for these States that no one State may under any circumstances be subjected to another State,
- p. 21, line 23I will show what alone must finally compact these,
- p. 21, line 24I believe these are to found their own ideal of manly love, indicating it in me,
- p. 22, line 16I say that the real and permanent grandeur of these States must be their religion,
- p. 22, line 22These ostensible realities, politics, points?
- p. 23, line 18These selecting, these in hints demanded of me.
- p. 27, line 6Hereby applying these leaves to the new ones from the hour they unite with the old ones,
- p. 28, line 6These, my voice announcing—I will sleep no more but arise,
- p. 32, line 5These come to me days and nights and go from me again,
- p. 41, line 25And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
- p. 42, line 1And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
- p. 42, line 2And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.
- p. 43, line 1These are really the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me,
- p. 47, line 23These mariners put the ship through dangerous unknown seas,
- p. 49, line 4The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
- p. 55, line 3Infinite and omnigenous, and the like of these among them,
- p. 60, line 2All these I feel or am.
- p. 62, line 2These were despatch'd with bayonets or batter'd with the blunts of muskets,
- p. 64, line 2These so, these irretrievable.
- p. 75, line 10I do not say these things for a dollar or to fill up the time while I wait for a boat,
- p. 83, line 3These I used to go and visit him to see, he was wise also,
- p. 83, line 17All things please the soul, but these please the soul well.
- p. 85, line 23Examine these limbs, red, black, or white, they are cunning in tendon and nerve,
- p. 86, line 15Do you not see that these are exactly the same to all in all nations and times all over the earth?
- p. 88, line 4O I say these are not the parts and poems of the body only, but of the soul,
- p. 88, line 5O I say now these are the soul!
- p. 88, line 13These are contain'd in sex as parts of itself and justifications of itself.
- p. 89, line 9I pour the stuff to start sons and daughters fit for these States, I press with slow rude muscle,
- p. 92, line 30Deliriate, thus prelude what is generated, offering these, offering myself,
- p. 96, line 25Indeed O death, I think now these leaves mean precisely the same as you mean,
- p. 97, line 13That you hide in these shifting forms of life, for reasons, and that they are mainly for you,
- p. 98, line 17But these leaves conning you con at peril,
- p. 98, line 18For these leaves and me you will not understand,
- p. 99, line 10For you these from me, O Democracy, to serve you ma femme!
- p. 99, line 11For you, for you I am trilling these songs.
- p. 99, line 12THESE I singing in spring collect for lovers,
- p. 99, line 18(Wild-flowers and vines and weeds come up through the stones and partly cover them, beyond these I pass,)
- p. 100, line 9These I compass'd around by a thick cloud of spirits,
- p. 100, line 27Nor the other murmurs of these incredible dreams of every day,
- p. 100, line 30Need I that you exist and show yourself any more than in these songs.
- p. 101, line 6The skies of day and night, colors, densities, forms, may-be these are (as doubtless they are) only apparitions, and the real something has yet to be known,
- p. 101, line 10To me these and the like of these are curiously answer'd by my lovers, my dear friends,
- p. 103, line 21ROOTS and leaves themselves alone are these,
- p. 104, line 13Not these, O none of these more than the flames of me, consuming, burning for his love whom I love,
- p. 105, line 12Offering response to my own—these repay me,
- p. 105, line 14BEHOLD this swarthy face, these gray eyes,
- p. 107, line 4Only I will establish in the Mannahatta and in every city of these States inland and seaboard,
- p. 108, line 14For these States tend inland and toward the Western sea, and I will also.
- p. 109, line 18I dare not tell it in words, not even in these songs.
- p. 110, line 11These with perfect trust to depict you as myself, the germs are in all men,
- p. 110, line 12I believe the main purport of these States is to found a superb friendship, exaltè, previously unknown,
- p. 110, line 17Yet out of that I have written these songs.)
- p. 111, line 20But among my lovers and caroling these songs,
- p. 112, line 2To you yet unborn these, seeking you.
- p. 112, line 3When you read these I that was visible am become invisible,
- p. 112, line 17What rivers are these? what forests and fruits are these?
- p. 124, line 12These yearnings why are they? these thoughts in the darkness why are they?
- p. 125, line 11However sweet these laid-up stores, however convenient this dwelling we cannot remain here,
- p. 125, line 12However shelter'd this port and however calm these waters we must not anchor here,
- p. 126, line 5These are the days that must happen to you:
- p. 131, line 8These and all else were to me the same as they are to you,
- p. 132, line 11Refusals, hates, postponements, meanness, laziness, none of these wanting,
- p. 133, line 1What gods can exceed these that clasp me by the hand, and with voices I love call me promptly and loudly by my nighest name as I approach?
- p. 134, line 20And I answer for his brother and for men, and I answer for him that answers for all, and send these signs.
- p. 137, line 20The builder, geometer, chemist, anatomist, phrenologist, artist, all these underlie the maker of poems, the Answerer.
- p. 138, line 11The area the eighty-third year of these States, the three and a half millions of square miles,
- p. 138, line 13The seven millions of distinct families and the same number of dwellings—always these, and more, branching forth into numberless branches,
- p. 138, line 16Always these compact lands tied at the hips with the belt stringing the huge oval lakes;
- p. 138, line 20Through Mannahatta's streets I walking, these things gathering,
- p. 140, line 19All the acts, scenes, ways, persons, attitudes of these States, reminiscences, institutions,
- p. 140, line 20All these States compact, every square mile of these States without excepting a particle;
- p. 141, line 13O lands! all so dear to me—what you are, (whatever it is,) I putting it at random in these songs, become a part of that, whatever it is,
- p. 142, line 4Singing the song of These, my ever-united lands—my body no more inevitably united, part to part, and made out of a thousand diverse contributions one identity, any more than my lands are inevitably united and made ONE IDENTITY;
- p. 142, line 6Cities, labors, death, animals, products, war, good and evil—these me,
- p. 142, line 7These affording, in all their particulars, the old feuillage to me and to America, how can I do less than pass the clew of the union of them, to afford the like to you?
- p. 142, line 9How can I but as here chanting, invite you for yourself to collect bouquets of the incomparable feuillage of these States?
- p. 146, line 3What attractions are these beyond any before? what bloom more than the bloom of youth?
- p. 147, line 21To these proud laws of the air, the water and the ground, proving my interior soul impregnable,
- p. 148, line 14A ship itself, (see indeed these sails I spread to the sun and air,)
- p. 152, line 7Away! these are not to be cherish'd for themselves,
- p. 152, line 19Where the city stands that is belov'd by these, and loves them in return and understands them,
- p. 158, line 6These also are the lessons of our New World;
- p. 161, line 17(This, this and these, America, shall be your pyramids and obelisks,
- p. 163, line 9These triumphs of our time, the Atlantic's delicate cable,
- p. 165, line 1In other scenes than these have I observ'd thee flag,
- p. 165, line 11Now here and these and hence in peace, all thine O Flag!
- p. 167, line 4In them these skies and airs, these mountain peaks, Shasta, Nevadas,
- p. 167, line 5These huge precipitous cliffs, this amplitude, these valleys, far Yosemite,
- p. 167, line 15These virgin lands, lands of the Western shore,
- p. 167, line 27Here build your homes for good, establish here, these areas entire, lands of the Western shore,
- p. 169, line 1But more in you than these, lands of the Western shore,
- p. 169, line 2(These but the means, the implements, the standing-ground,)
- p. 171, line 1All these I see, but nigher and farther the same I see,
- p. 172, line 9Old institutions, these arts, libraries, legends, collections, and the practice handed along in manufactures, will we rate them so high?
- p. 175, line 1These shows all near you by day and night—workman! whoever you are, your daily life!
- p. 175, line 8But I say that none lead to greater than these lead to.
- p. 175, line 15You workwomen and workmen of these States having your own divine and strong life,
- p. 177, line 5To bear, to better, lacking these of what avail am I?
- p. 177, line 18Underneath these possessing words that never fail.
- p. 180, line 9These to echo the tones of souls and the phrases of souls,
- p. 182, line 16For these (not for thyself) thou hast arrived.
- p. 185, line 11Through these shores amid the shadows, with the apparitions pressing,
- p. 185, line 17These are of us, they are with us,
- p. 186, line 10I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your feet and hands,
- p. 187, line 13Silence, the desk, the flippant expression, the night, the accustom'd routine, if these conceal you from others or from yourself, they do not conceal you from me,
- p. 187, line 14The shaved face, the unsteady eye, the impure complexion, if these balk others they do not balk me,
- p. 187, line 15The pert apparel, the deform'd attitude, drunkenness, greed, premature death, all these I part aside.
- p. 187, line 23These shows of the East and West are tame compared to you,
- p. 187, line 24These immense meadows, these interminable rivers, you are immense and interminable as they,
- p. 188, line 1These furies, elements, storms, motions of Nature, throes of apparent dissolution, you are he or she who is master or mistress over them,
- p. 189, line 3And I send these words to Paris with my love,
- p. 190, line 9What about these likes of myself that draw me so close by tender directions and indirections?
- p. 190, line 18I must follow up these continual lessons of the air, water, earth,
- p. 191, line 15Of such, and fitful as they, I sing—with gleams from them would I gleam and patch these chants,
- p. 192, line 8With countless years drawing themselves onward and arrived at these years,
- p. 192, line 18As for me, (torn, stormy, amid these vehement days,)
- p. 193, line 1In the name of these States and in your and my name, the Past,
- p. 193, line 2And in the name of these States and in your and my name, the Present time.
- p. 194, line 17See my cantabile! these and more are flashing to us from the procession,
- p. 194, line 24Vast desolated cities, the gliding present, all of these and more are in the pageant-procession.
- p. 195, line 9These and whatever belongs to them palpable show forth to me, and are seiz'd by me,
- p. 197, line 8A man, yet by these tears a little boy again,
- p. 202, line 15These you presented to me you fish-shaped island,
- p. 202, line 31Pointing in silence to these songs, and then to the sand beneath.
- p. 203, line 6These little shreds indeed standing for you and me and all.
- p. 206, line 12With these kisses let me remove your tears,
- p. 208, line 3And out of these a chant for the sailors of all nations,
- p. 212, line 1Then in their power not for all these did the blows strike revenge, or the heads of the nobles fall;
- p. 212, line 13And all these things bear fruits, and they are good.
- p. 215, line 1O ME! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
- p. 215, line 7The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
- p. 215, line 12You have not seen that only such as they are for these States,
- p. 215, line 13And that what is less than they must sooner or later lift off from these States.
- p. 215, line 18I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love attempted to be hid, I see these sights on the earth,
- p. 216, line 2All these—all the meanness and agony without end I sitting look out upon,
- p. 218, line 7A sudden gleam divine, precipitating, bursting all these bubbles, fashions, wealth?
- p. 218, line 8These eager business aims—books, politics, art, amours,
- p. 219, line 4Then I will sleep awhile yet, for I see that these States sleep, for reasons;
- p. 223, line 8And then the song of each member of these States.
- p. 224, line 7Look at these dazzling things in the houses, and see you the money-shops opening,
- p. 224, line 9These, ah these, how valued and toil'd for these!
- p. 226, line 7Not now are we any one of these spacious and haughty States, (nor any five, nor ten,)
- p. 226, line 9But these and all, and the brown and spreading land, and the mines below, are ours,
- p. 229, line 4These, and such as these, I, elate, saw—saw with wonder, yet pensive and masterful,
- p. 230, line 24For you provided me Washington—and now these also.
- p. 234, line 14And then, (it was just ere sunrise,) these eyes rested on him for the last time.
- p. 234, line 24And these waters I listlessly daily cross, are these the waters he cross'd,
- p. 239, line 10By these, crowds, groups of forms vaguely I see on the floor, some in the pews laid down,
- p. 239, line 20These I resume as I chant, I see again the forms, I smell the odor,
- p. 241, line 7More than I have charged myself, heeded or unheeded, to compose a march for these States,
- p. 241, line 21Years hence of these scenes, of these furious passions, these chances,
- p. 243, line 22These and more I dress with impassive hand, (yet deep in my breast a fire, a burning flame.)
- p. 244, line 3Many a soldier's kiss dwells on these bearded lips.)
- p. 244, line 20These demanding to have them, (tired with ceaseless excitement, and rack'd by the war-strife,)
- p. 244, line 21These to procure incessantly asking, rising in cries from my heart,
- p. 245, line 10Give me faces and streets—give me these phantoms incessant and endless along the trottoirs!
- p. 247, line 18These shall tie you and band you stronger than hoops of iron,
- p. 249, line 3With the patter of small arms, the warning s-s-t of the rifles, (these in my vision I hear or see,)
- p. 249, line 27Composed these songs.
- p. 250, line 10Now and henceforth flaunt from these shores.
- p. 252, line 24Flauntest now unharm'd in immortal soundness and bloom—lo, in these hours supreme,
- p. 253, line 18Let them identify you to the future in these songs.
- p. 256, line 28The dim-lit churches and the shuddering organs—where amid these you journey,
- p. 258, line 6These and with these and the breath of my chant,
- p. 263, line 30Was saved the Union of these States.
- p. 264, line 2As I mused of these warlike days and of peace return'd, and the dead that return no more,
- p. 265, line 14These clamors wild to a race of pride I give.)
- p. 266, line 9These States are the amplest poem,
- p. 269, line 1By them all native and grand, by them alone can these States be fused into the compact organism of a Nation.
- p. 269, line 4Of all races and eras these States with veins full of poetical stuff most need poets, and are to have the greatest, and use them the greatest,
- p. 269, line 9Of these States the poet is the equable man,
- p. 271, line 12Have you vivified yourself from the maternity of these States?
- p. 273, line 9Read these leaves to myself in the open air, tried them by trees, stars, rivers,
- p. 273, line 20I swear I begin to see the meaning of these things,
- p. 274, line 11(Talk as you like, he only suits these States whose manners favor the audacity and sublime turbulence of the States.)
- p. 275, line 13I will confront these shows of the day and night,
- p. 275, line 23These States, what are they except myself?
- p. 275, line 27I know not what these plots and wars and deferments are for,
- p. 277, line 14In I myself, in all the world, these currents flowing,
- p. 278, line 2These waifs from the deep, cast high and dry,
- p. 278, line 4FOR the lands and for these passionate days and for myself,
- p. 280, line 1But on these days of brightness,
- p. 282, line 2With these and else and with their own strong hands the heroes harvest.
- p. 282, line 15Or aught that ripens in all these States or North or South,
- p. 284, line 6These became part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.
- p. 287, line 15(Not songs of loyalty alone are these,
- p. 288, line 15NATIONS ten thousand years before these States, and many times ten thousand years before these States,
- p. 289, line 20On Time, Space, Reality—on such as these, and abreast with them Prudence.
- p. 291, line 5These inure, have inured, shall inure, to the identities from which they sprang, or shall spring.
- p. 294, line 16Gathering these hints, the preludes, the blue sky, the grass, the morning drops of dew,
- p. 296, line 10These lights and shades, this drama of the whole,
- p. 296, line 21These burin'd eyes, flashing to you to pass to future time,
- p. 296, line 22To launch and spin through space revolving sideling, from these to emanate,
- p. 297, line 7Do you move in these broad lands as broad as they?
- p. 297, line 13After these and more, it is just possible there comes to a man, a woman, the divine power to speak words;
- p. 299, line 4Inside these breast-bones I lie smutch'd and choked,
- p. 300, line 5For a clew to the history of the past for myself, and for these chants—and now I have found it,
- p. 301, line 15These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
- p. 303, line 20The theory of a city, a poem, and of the large politics of these States;
- p. 305, line 8And that I can think such thoughts as these is just as wonderful,
- p. 308, line 5And these I see, these sparkling eyes,
- p. 308, line 6These stores of mystic meaning, these young lives,
- p. 308, line 14(As George Fox rais'd his warning cry, "Is it this pile of brick and mortar, these dead floors, windows, rails, you call the church?
- p. 309, line 5Who knows but these may be the lessons fit for you?
- p. 309, line 6From these your future song may rise with joyous trills,
- p. 309, line 27Power, wealth, extent, vouchsafed to thee—with these and like of these vouchsafed to thee,
- p. 317, line 14Marking through these and after all, in duplicate slender lines,
- p. 318, line 18Ah who shall soothe these feverish children?
- p. 318, line 19Who justify these restless explorations?
- p. 319, line 1All these hearts as of fretted children shall be sooth'd,
- p. 319, line 3All these separations and gaps shall be taken up and hook'd and link'd together,
- p. 321, line 14Sailing these seas or on the hills, or waking in the night,
- p. 324, line 11These sped me on.
- p. 324, line 12By me and these the work so far accomplish'd,
- p. 325, line 7And these things I see suddenly, what mean they?
- p. 333, line 4Have you dreaded these earth-beetles?
- p. 333, line 26To think of all these wonders of city and country, and others taking great interest in them, and we taking no interest in them.
- p. 335, line 1To think that these are so much and so nigh to other drivers, and he there takes no interest in them.
- p. 335, line 9These also flow onward to others, you and I flow onward,
- p. 336, line 24Of and in all these things,
- p. 340, line 20Breathe my breath also through these songs.
- p. 343, line 6The triumphant tutti, the funeral wailings with sweet flutes and violins, all these I fill myself with,
- p. 347, line 24Preludes of intellect tallying these and thee, mind-formulas fitted for thee, real and sane and large as these and thee,
- p. 350, line 5But far more in these leaves and chants, thy chants, great Mother!)
- p. 350, line 11These! these in thee, (certain to come,) to-day I prophesy.
- p. 351, line 12(Purport of all these apparitions of the real;)
- p. 351, line 15By many a throe of heat and cold convuls'd, (by these thyself solidifying,)
- p. 352, line 22Strike through these chants.
- p. 352, line 23Nor only launch thy subtle dazzle and thy strength for these,
- p. 355, line 5These faces bear testimony slumbering or awake,
- p. 360, line 10The piney odor and the gloom, the awful natural stillness, (here in these dense swamps the freebooter carries his gun, and the fugitive has his conceal'd hut;)
- p. 360, line 11O the strange fascination of these half-known half-impassable swamps, infested by reptiles, resounding with the bellow of the alligator, the sad noises of the night-owl and the wild-cat, and the whirr of the rattlesnake,
- p. 364, line 15Of the frivolous Judge—of the corrupt Congressman, Governor, Mayor—of such as these standing helpless and exposed,
- p. 368, line 19These tumbled rock-piles grim and red,
- p. 368, line 20These reckless heaven-ambitious peaks,
- p. 368, line 21These gorges, turbulent-clear streams, this naked freshness,
- p. 368, line 22These formless wild arrays, for reasons of their own,
- p. 369, line 1AS I walk these broad majestic days of peace,
- p. 369, line 20The rapt promises and luminè of seers, the spiritual world, these centuries-lasting songs,
- p. 370, line 17What historic denouements are these we so rapidly approach?
- p. 371, line 4With these and the world-spreading factories he interlinks all geography, all lands;
- p. 371, line 5What whispers are these O lands, running ahead of you, passing under the seas?
- p. 372, line 7But aside from these and the marts of wealth and the crowded promenade,
- p. 372, line 25Make these ashes to nourish and blossom,
- p. 373, line 1OF these years I sing,
- p. 373, line 13And how these of mine and of the States will in their turn be convuls'd, and serve other parturitions and transitions,
- p. 374, line 11Of these songs, well understood there, (being made for that area,)
- p. 375, line 14To have gone forth among other Gods, these men and women I love.
- p. 376, line 21I grave a monumental line, before I go, amid these songs,
- p. 379, line 8To Nature encompassing these, encompassing God—to the joyous, electric all,
- p. 379, line 26THESE carols sung to cheer my passage through the world I see,
- p. 380, line 15When through these States walk a hundred millions of superb persons,
- p. 381, line 1I announce that the identity of these States is a single identity only,
- p. 386, line 12This latent mine—these unlaunch'd voices—passionate powers,
- p. 386, line 15These ocean waves arousable to fury and to death,
- p. 389, line 13These, these, O sea, all these I'd gladly barter,
- p. 391, line 8Then last of all, caught from these shores, this hill,
- p. 391, line 24These stormy gusts and winds waft precious ships,
- p. 394, line 5These snowy hairs, my feeble arm, my frozen feet,
- p. 394, line 9These with gay heart I also sing.
- p. 394, line 25To encompass these, the last keen faculty and entrance-price,
- p. 395, line 12"She's free—she's on her destination "—these the last words—when Jenny came, he sat there dead,
- p. 395, line 25From these, for these, with these, a hurried line, dead tenor,
- p. 399, line 12Soon shall these icy ligatures unbind and melt—A little while,
