ROAMING IN THOUGHT (AFTER READING HEGEL) by WALT WHITMAN

Poet Analysis

First Line: ROAMING IN THOUGHT OVER THE UNIVERSE, I SAW THE LITTLE THAT IS GOOD
Last Line: MERGE ITSELF AND BECOME LOST AND DEAD.

Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that
is Good steadily hastening towards immortality,
And the vast all that is call'd Evil I saw hastening to
merge itself and become lost and dead.
