Og som en af de skønne personer, der huserer i mine kommentarfunktioner har sagt, så ville han sikkert også have brugt det til at indfange en del kosmopolitiske ynglinge i SIT net. Walt elskede Verden. Kosmos og det mindste strå. Mænd og Kvinder. Lige en mand efter mit hoved.
This moment yearning and thoughtful sitting alone,
It seems to me there are other men in other lands yearing
and thoughtful,
It seems to me I can look over and behold them in Germany,
Italy, France, Spain,
Or far ayway, in China, or in Russia or Japan, talking
other dialects,
And it seems to me if I could know these men I should become
attached to them as I do to men in my own lands,
O I know we should be brethren and lovers,
I know I should be happy with them.
Walt Whitman (Calamus)
