I WILL take an egg out of the robin's nest in the
orchard,
I will take a branch of gooseberries from the old bush in the garden, and go and preach to the world ;
You shall see I will not meet a single heretic or scorner.
You shall see how I stump clergymen, and confound them,
You shall see me showing a scarlet tomato, and a white pebble from the beach.
Behavior — fresh, native, copious, each one for himself or herself.
Nature and the Soul expressed — America and free- dom expressed — In it the finest art,
In it pride, cleanliness, sympathy, to have their chance,
In it physique, intellect, faith — in it just as much as to manage an army or a city, or to write a book — perhaps more.
The youth, the laboring person, the poor person, rivalling all the rest — perhaps outdoing the rest.
The effects of the universe no greater than its ;
For there is nothing in the whole universe that can be more effective than a man's or woman's daily behavior can be.
In any position, in any one of These States.
