COME, I will make the continent indissoluble;
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever yet shone upon;
I will make divine magnetic lands,
With the love of comrades,
With the life-long love of comrades.
I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of
America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over
the prairies;
I will make inseparable cities, with their arms about each other's
necks;
By the love of comrades,
By the manly love of comrades.
For you these, from me, O Democracy, to serve you, ma femme! 10
For you! for you, I am trilling these songs,
In the love of comrades,
In the high-towering love of comrades.
Walt Whitman

What on earth is Marina Paiae doing? She allows no comments - a sure sign of intellectual cowardice.

Balderdash. Highflown, windy, bladerdash. The Nazis could boast of the love of comrades.

More like a prophecy for America. Whitman embraced the feeling of the time, seeing the expansion and growth that would be America in the future. Whitman's compassion for people comes forth brilliantly.

Comrades and democracy does not go well together, in this rhetoric.

Love and brotherhood to be cherished most in democracy are what Walt Whitman has expressed passionately inspiring all in this unique poem of his natural desire!
