Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 14. Roaming in Thought [After reading Hegel]

Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good
      steadily hastening towards immortality,
And the vast all that is call'd Evil I saw hastening to merge itself
      and become lost and dead.
