TESTS, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: All submit to them where they sit, inner, secure, unapproachable to analysis
Last Line: Corroborate far and near without one exception.
First Line: All submit to them where they sit, inner, secure, unapproachable to analysis
Last Line: Corroborate far and near without one exception.
All submit to them where they sit, inner, secure,
unapproachable to analysis in the soul,
Not traditions, not the outer authorities are the judges,
They are the judges of outer authorities and of all traditions,
They corroborate as they go only whatever corroborates
themselves, and touches themselves;
For all that, they have it forever in themselves to
corroborate far and near without one exception.
