“A simple separate person is not contained between his hat and his boots.”

“I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots,”

“I am not contain'd between my hat and my boots.”

“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.”

“I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.”

“I am large, I contain multitudes”

“And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.”
