Walt Whitman

One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
