A child said, What is the grass?
A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full
hands;How could I answer the child?. . . .I do not know what it
is any more than he.
I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful
green stuff woven.
Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,
A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,
Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we
may see and remark, and say Whose?
Or I guess the grass is itself a child. . . .the produced babe
of the vegetation.
(...)
All goes onward and outward. . . .and nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and
luckier.
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and
luckier.
Walt Whitman
