Shut not your doors to me, proud libraries - Walt Whitman



Shut not your doors to me, proud libraries, 

For that which was lacking among you all, yet needed most, I bring; 

A book I have made for your dear sake, soldiers, 

And for you, O soul of man, and you, love of comrades; 

The words of my book nothing, the life of it every-thing; 

A book separate, not link'd with the rest, nor felt by the intellect; 

But you will feel every word, 

O Libertad ! arm'd Libertad ! 

It shall pass by the intellect to swim the sea, the air, 

With joy with you, O soul of man.
