“Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships; The varied and ample land,--the South And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.” SoulBodyLightLandNew YorkSouthShipsGrassCoveredShoreTidesCornManhattanOhioSparklingPrairieHurryingMissouriSpires Book:Leaves of Grass: A Textual Variorum of the Printed Poems, 1860-1867 Source: Leaves of Grass: A Textual Variorum of the Printed Poems, 1860-1867

“For some of us, the soul is resident in the sole, and yearns ceaselessly for light and air and self-expression. Our feet are our very selves. The touch of floor or carpet, grass or mud or asphalt, speaks to us loud and clear from the foot, that scorned and lowly organ as dear to us as our eyes and ears.” SoulSelfLightEyeSpeakClearAirFeetExpressionEarsDearLoudGrassOrgansSoleMudCarpetSelf ExpressionResidentsScornedAsphalt Author:Barbara Holland
