Poets to come! Orators,singers,musicians to come!
Not to-day is to justify me and answer what I am for,
But you,a new brood,native,athletic,continental,greater than before known,
Arouse! for you must justify me.
I myself but write one or two indicative words for the future,
I but advance a moment only to wheel and hurry back in the darkness.
I am a man who,sauntering along without fully stopping,turns a casual look
upon you and then averts his face,
Leaving it to you to prove and define it,
Expecting the main things from you.
