One's Self I Sing
By Walt Whitman
One's-self I sing - a simple, separate Person; Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse. Of Physiology from top to toe I sing; Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse - I say the Form complete is worthier far; The Female equally with the male I sing. Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power, Cheerful - for freest action form'd, under the laws divine, The Modern Man I sing.
