And sings the tune without words,
And never stops at all. :nod:

Hope springs eternal in the human breast - Alexander Pope
Or something like that, I may be forgetting an apostrophe.
When by my solitary hearth, I sit

And the bare hearth of life presents no bloom;
Sweet hope, ethereal balm upon me shed,
And wave thy silver pinions over my head
~John Keats

Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son,
Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking, and breeding,
No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them,
No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman, from Song of Myself
To have great poets, then there must be great audiences too - Walt Whitman.
