Full of Life, Now.

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

Full of Life, Now.

1FULL of life, now, compact, visible, I, forty years old the Eighty-third Year of The States, To one a century hence, or any number of centuries  
 hence, To you, yet unborn, these, seeking you. 2When you read these, I, that was visible, am become  
 invisible; Now it is you, compact, visible, realizing my poems,  
 seeking me; Fancying how happy you were, if I could be with you,  
 and become your comrade; Be it as if I were with you. (Be not too certain but I  
 am now with you.)

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.
