There was a child went forth every day;
And the first object he look'd upon, that object he became;
And that object became part of him for the day,
or a certain part of the day,
or for many years, or stretching cycles of years.
or a certain part of the day,
or for many years, or stretching cycles of years.
- excerpt from Walt Whitmans "There Was A Child Went Forth", from Leaves of Grass (1891-1892)
