Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 21. Drum-Taps. 30. Race of Veterans


Race of veterans—race of victors!
Race of the soil, ready for conflict—race of the conquering march!
(No more credulity's race, abiding-temper'd race,)
Race henceforth owning no law but the law of itself,
Race of passion and the storm.
