I have said that the soul is not more than the body,
And I have said that the body is not more than the soul,
And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's self is,
And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest
in his shroud."
Whitman's enduring lesson about American democracy: "O I see flashing that
this America is only you and me."
No better, no worse. "The genius of the United States is not best or most in

even in its newspapers or inventors
...but always most in the common people."
