Background
A description of the experience
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass
These are the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me
If they are not yours as much as mine they are nothing or next to nothing
If they do not enclose everything they are next to nothing
If they are not the riddle and the untying of the riddle they are nothing
If they are not just as close as they are distant they are nothing
