O Living Always—Always Dying!
| O LIVING always—always dying! |
| O the burials of me, past and present! |
O me, while I stride ahead, material, visible, imperi-
ous as ever!
|
O me, what I was for years, now dead, (I lament not
—I am content;)
|
O to disengage myself from those corpses of me,
which I turn and look at, where I cast them!
|
To pass on, (O living! always living!) and leave the
corpses behind!
