> Wall Whitman Is that what he will be known as from now on? :) On a more serious note, it's interesting to reread his poem _America_, which was certainly written more as an aspiration than a description at the time.

| All, all alike endear’d, grown, ungrown, young or old,
| Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
| Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
| A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
| Chair’d in the adamant of Time. |
