Walt Whitman: One's-Self I Sing

One's-self I sing, a simple separate person,

  Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse.

  Of physiology from top to toe I sing,

  Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse, I say

      the Form complete is worthier far,

  The Female equally with the Male I sing.

  Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,

  Cheerful, for freest action form'd under the laws divine,

  The Modern Man I sing.

Walt Whitman.
