Assurances
By Walt Whitman

need no assurances, I am a man who is preoccupied of
his own soul;
[ do not doubt that from under the feet and beside the
hands and face I am cognizant of, are now looking
faces l am not cognizant Of, calm and actual faces;
| do not doubt but the majesty and beauty of the world are
latent in any iota of the world,
l do not doubt l am limitless, and that the universes are
limitless, in vain I try to think how lmitless,
[ do not doubt that the orbs and the systems of orbs play
their swift sports through the air on purpose, and that
| shall one day be eligible to do as much as they, and
more than they,
l do not doubt that temporary affairs keep on and on
millions of years,
l do not doubt interiors have their interiors, and exteriors
have their exteriors, and that the eyesight has another
eyesight, and the hearing another hearing, and the
voice another voice,
l do not doubt that the passionately- wept deaths of young
men are provided for, and that the deaths of young
women and the deaths of little children are provided
for,
Did you think Life was so well provided for, and Death,
the purport of all Life, is not well provided forO
LIDO not doubt that wrecks at sea, no matter what the hor-
rors of them, no matter whose wife, child, husband,
father, lover, has gone down, are provided for, to the
minutest points,
I do not doubt that whatever can possibly happen any
where at any time, is provided for in the inherences Of
things,
I do not think Life provides for all and for Time. and
Space, but 1 believe Heavenly Death provides for all.
