And [Nor?] I say that And I say that man is not _^space is not an apparition;

But that all the things seen or demonstrated are so;

Witnesses and albic dawns of things equally great,

I am announce myself the Poet of Reality; Materialisms: and exact demonstration and Positive science

Reality is eternal;

say that It is just _^Materials are just as eternal as Growth [illegible] growth, the semen

Every one admirable and serene,

Travelling, the earth sailing, measuring space,

Botanizing, dissecting, or making machines.—
