The Noiseless, Patient Spider by Walt Whitman
Siden A noiseless, patient spider I Speak er-Whit MAO EM
I mark'ds, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated;
feels
Tone:Dalf and Ton
Mark'd how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding, A
It launch'd forth filament?, filament, filament, out of itself;
alone
loneliness the sp
Ever unreeling them - ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you, O my Soul, where you stand, .
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, -seeking the spheres, to connect them;
Till the bridge you will need, be form'd - till the ductile anchor hold;
Till the gossamers thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.
