Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 5. Calamus. 32. To the East and to the West


To the East and to the West,
To the man of the Seaside State and of Pennsylvania,
To the Kanadian of the north, to the Southerner I love,
These with perfect trust to depict you as myself, the germs are in all men,
I believe the main purport of these States is to found a superb
      friendship, exaltè, previously unknown,
Because I perceive it waits, and has been always waiting, latent in all men.
