Surrounding the essences of real things, old times and present times, Of these States the poet is the equable man, infidel, who has ever askd any thing of America? If its poets appear it will in due time advance to meet them, there It is not the earth, it is not America who is so great, Men, women, cities, nations, are only beautiful from nativity. Underneath all is the Expression of love for men and women, love for men and women, After this day I take my own modes of expressing love for men and Underneath the lessons of things, spirits, Nature, governments, And I saw the free souls of poets, Bards for my own land only I invoke, bards of the war!	./cache/chapter-211.txt	./txt/chapter-211.txt
