Leaves of Grass, by Walt Whitman

OF ownership—as if one fit to own things could not at pleasure
enter upon all, and incorporate them into himself or herself;

Of vista—suppose some sight in arriere through the formative
chaos, presuming the growth, fulness, life, now attain'd on
the journey,

(But I see the road continued, and the journey ever continued;)

Of what was once lacking on earth, and in due time has become
supplied—and of what will yet be supplied,

Because all I see and know I believe to have its main purport in
what will yet be supplied.
