00:00:00.730 --> 00:00:03.100 align:middle line:84%
Let me conclude with a
little paragraph of prose

00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:06.550 align:middle line:84%
which I love very dearly from
preface, the first edition,

00:00:06.550 --> 00:00:07.885 align:middle line:90%
"Leaves of Grass," Walt Whitman.

00:00:07.885 --> 00:00:12.650 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.650 --> 00:00:15.710 align:middle line:90%
This is what you shall do--

00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:20.480 align:middle line:84%
love the Earth, and the
Sun, and the animals.

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:26.240 align:middle line:84%
Despise riches, give alms
to everyone that asks,

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:29.930 align:middle line:84%
stand up for the
stupid and crazy,

00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:33.860 align:middle line:84%
devote your income
and labor to others,

00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:39.600 align:middle line:84%
hate tyrants, argue
not concerning God,

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.680 align:middle line:84%
have patience and indulgence
toward the people.

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:47.550 align:middle line:84%
Take off your hat to
nothing known, or unknown,

00:00:47.550 --> 00:00:50.850 align:middle line:84%
or to any man, or
any number of men,

00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:54.150 align:middle line:84%
go freely with powerful
uneducated persons

00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:58.470 align:middle line:84%
and with the young and with
the mothers of families,

00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:02.310 align:middle line:84%
re-examine all you have been
told at school or church

00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:08.730 align:middle line:84%
or in any book, dismiss
whatever insults your own soul,

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:11.940 align:middle line:84%
and your very flesh
shall be a great poem

00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:15.090 align:middle line:84%
and have the richest fluency,
not only in its words

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.390 align:middle line:84%
but in the silent lines
of its lips and face

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:21.210 align:middle line:84%
and between the
lashes of your eyes

00:01:21.210 --> 00:01:24.090 align:middle line:84%
and in every motion
and joint of your body.

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:27.020 align:middle line:90%


00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:27.770 align:middle line:90%
Good night.

00:01:27.770 --> 00:01:30.820 align:middle line:90%
