:And who possesses a perfect and enamoured body? For I do not believe any one possesses a more perfect or enamoured body than mine;

And who thinks the amplest thoughts? For I will surround those thoughts;

And who has made hymns fit for the earth? For I am mad with devouring extacy to make joyous hymns for the whole earth!

They shall arise in the States—mediums shall,

They shall report Nature, laws, physiology, and happiness,

They shall illustrate Democracy and the kosmos,

They shall be alimentive, amative, perceptive,

They shall be complete women and men—their pose brawny and supple, their drink water, their blood clean and clear,

They shall enjoy materialism and the sight of products—they shall enjoy the sight of the beef, lumber, bread-stuffs, of Chicago, the great city,

They shall train themselves to go in public to become oratists, (orators and oratresses,)

Strong and sweet shall their tongues be—poems and materials of poems shall come from their lives—they shall be makers and finders,

Of them, and of their works, shall emerge divine conveyers, to convey gospels,
