WHO includes diversity, and is Nature,
Who is the amplitude of the earth, and the coarseness
     and sexuality of the earth, and the great charity
     of the earth, and the equilibrium also,
Who has not looked forth from the windows, the eyes,
     for nothing, or whose brain held audience with
     messengers for nothing;
Who contains believers and disbelievers — Who is the
     most majestic lover;
Who holds duly his or her triune proportion of realism,
     spiritualism, and of the æsthetic, or intellectual,
Who, having considered the body, finds all its organs
     and parts good;
Who, out of the theory of the earth, and of his or her
     body, understands by subtle analogies, the theory
     of a city, a poem, and of the large politics of
     These States;
Who believes not only in our globe, with its sun and
     moon, but in other globes, with their suns and
     moons;
Who, constructing the house of himself or herself, not
     for a day, but for all time, sees races, eras, dates,
     generations,
The past, the future, dwelling there, like space, insep-
     arable together.
