Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 6. Thoughts

Of ownership—as if one fit to own things could not at pleasure enter
      upon all, and incorporate them into himself or herself;
Of vista—suppose some sight in arriere through the formative chaos,
      presuming the growth, fulness, life, now attain'd on the journey,
(But I see the road continued, and the journey ever continued;)
Of what was once lacking on earth, and in due time has become
      supplied—and of what will yet be supplied,
Because all I see and know I believe to have its main purport in
      what will yet be supplied.
