There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
Image
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
