"To a President" by Walt Whitman
ALL you are doing and saying is to America dangled mirages,
You have not learn’d of Nature—of the politics of Nature, you have not
learn’d
the
great amplitude, rectitude, impartiality;
You have not seen that only such as they are for These States,
And that what is less than they, must sooner or later lift off from These States.
Love how this is relevant on so many levels. Nature, impartiality and knowledge. How far we've come without understanding the basics of Nature and dangled mirages.
This is an excellent observation and one that I would have been very unlikely to read without you! Thanks!
