:::elizabeth the 1st:::
no soy originaria, soy original.
walt whitman wisdom
O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d
with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more
foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects
mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid
crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of
the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—
What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer:
That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you
will contribute a verse.
