KOSMOS.

WHO includes diversity, and is Nature, Who is the amplitude of the earth, and the coarseness  
 and sexuality of the earth, and the great char- 
 ity of the earth, and the equilibrium also,
Who has not look'd forth from the windows, the eyes,  
 for nothing, or whose brain held audience with  
 messengers for nothing;
  [ begin page 268 ]ppp.00473.268.jpg Who contains believers and disbelievers—Who is the  
 most majestic lover;
Who holds duly his or her triune proportion of real- 
 ism, spiritualism, and of the æsthetic, or in- 
 tellectual,
Who, having consider'd the Body, finds all its organs  
 and parts good;
Who, out of the theory of the earth, and of his or  
 her body, understands by subtle analogies all  
 other theories,
The theory of a city, a poem, and of the large poli- 
 tics of These States;
Who believes not only in our globe, with its sun and  
 moon, but in other globes, with their suns and  
 moons;
Who, constructing the house of himself or herself, not  
 for a day, but for all time, sees races, eras, dates,  
 generations,
The past, the future, dwelling there, like space, insep- 
 arable together.
