QUOTE : I celebrate myself, and sing myself,<br />And what I assume you shall assume,<br />For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.<br /><br />I loafe and invite my soul,<br />I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.<br /><br />32. I think I could turn and live with animals, they're so placid and self-contained,<br />I stand and look at them and long.<br /><br />They do not sweat and whine about their condition.<br />They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins.<br />They do not make me sick discussiong their duty to God,<br />Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,<br />Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,<br />Not one is respectable or unhappy over the earth.<br /><br />52. The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and loitering.<br /><br />I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,<br />I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.
