“The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.”

“And your very flesh shall be a great poem.”

“Your very flesh shall be a great poem...”

“Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves,As souls only understand souls.”

“TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved,Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after-ward resumes its liberty.”

“Love the earth and sun and animals,Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,Stand up for the stupid and crazy,Devote your income and labor to others...And your very flesh shall be a great poem.”

“Unscrew the locks from the doors ! Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs ! ”
