“I do not doubt but the majesty and beauty of the

world is latent in any iota of the world;

I do not doubt there are realizations I have

no idea of, waiting for me through time

and through the universes—also upon this

earth;

I do not doubt I am limitless, and that the uni-

verses are limitless—in vain I try to think

how limitless;

I do not doubt that the orbs, and the systems of

orbs, play their swift sports through the air

on purpose—and that I shall one day be

eligible to do as much as they, and more than

they;

I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities,

insects, vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds,

rejected refuse, than I have supposed;

I do not doubt there is more in myself than I have

supposed—and more in all men and women

—and more in my poems than I have

supposed;"

(Faith poem , Walt Whitman )
