Offenbach - Barcarolle
...
Have you practis’d so long to learn to read?
Have you felt so proud to get at the
meaning of poems?
Stop this day with me and you shall
possess the origin of all poems,
You shall possess the good of the
earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,)
You shall no longer take things at
second or third hand,
nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes
either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and
filter them from your self.
Walt Whitman
Song of Myself, 2
