by blue ontario's shore
by walt whitman

by blue ontario's shore,
as i mused of these warlike days and of peace return'd, and the
dead that return no more,
a phantom gigantic superb, with stern visage accosted me,
chant me the poem, it said, that comes from the soul of america,
chant me the carol of victory,
and strike up the marches of libertad, marches more powerful yet,
and sing me before you go the song of the throes of democracy.

a nation announcing itself,
i myself make the only growth by which i can be appreciated,
i reject none, accept all, then reproduce all in my own forms.

a breed whose proof is in time and deeds,
what we are we are, nativity is answer enough to objections,
we wield ourselves as a weapon is wielded,
we are powerful and tremendous in ourselves,
we are executive in ourselves, we are sufficient in the variety of
ourselves,
we are the most beautiful to ourselves and in ourselves,
we stand self-pois'd in the middle, branching thence over the world,
from missouri, nebraska, or kansas, laughing attacks to scorn.

nothing is sinful to us outside of ourselves,
whatever appears, whatever does not appear, we are beautiful or
sinful in ourselves only.

(o mother--o sisters dear!
if we are lost, no victor else has destroy'd us,
it is by ourselves we go down to eternal night.)

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
