You haggard, uncouth, untutored Bedowee!
You plague-swarms in Madras, Nankin, Kaubul,
Cairo!
You bather bathing in the Ganges!
You benighted roamer of Amazonia! you Patagonian!
you Fegee-man!
You peon of Mexico! you Russian serf! you slave of
Carolina, Texas, Tennessee!
I do not prefer others so very much before you either,
I do not say one word against you, away back there,
where you stand,
(You will come forward in due time to my side.)

33.My spirit has passed in compassion and determination ::around the whole earth,
I have looked for equals and lovers, and found them
ready for me in all lands;
I think some divine rapport has equalized me with
them.

34.O vapors! I think I have risen with you, and moved
away to distant continents, and fallen down
there, for reasons,
I think I have blown with you, O winds,
O waters, I have fingered every shore with you.

35.I have run through what any river or strait of the
globe has run through,
I have taken my stand on the bases of peninsulas, and
on the highest embedded rocks, to cry thence.

36.Salut au Monde!
What cities the light or warmth penetrates, I penetrate
those cities myself,
