Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 1. Inscriptions. 16. Savantism

Thither as I look I see each result and glory retracing itself and
         nestling close, always obligated,
Thither hours, months, years—thither trades, compacts,
         establishments, even the most minute,
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, persons, estates;
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful, admirant,
As a father to his father going takes his children along with him.
