Poem by Walt Whitman


Leaves of Grass. 20. By the Roadside. 22. Thought (Of justice—as If could be any thing but the same ample law)


Of justice—as If could be any thing but the same ample law,
      expounded by natural judges and saviors,
As if it might be this thing or that thing, according to decisions.
