I hear the Hindoo teaching his favorite pupil the loves, wars, adages, transmitted safely to this day from poets who wrote three thousand years ago. What do you see Walt Whitman? Who are they you salute, and that one after another salute you? I see a great round wonder rolling through space . . . Walt Whitman "Salut au Monde!" _Leaves of Grass_
