Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 34. Sands at Seventy. 44. Stronger Lessons


Have you learn'd lessons only of those who admired you, and were
      tender with you, and stood aside for you?
Have you not learn'd great lessons from those who reject you, and
      brace themselves against you? or who treat you with contempt,
      or dispute the passage with you?
