A poem by Walt Whitman

Tests

________________________________________________
Title:     Tests
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

All submit to them where they sit, inner, secure, unapproachable to analysis in the soul,

Not traditions, not the outer authorities are the judges,

They are the judges of outer authorities and of all traditions,

They corroborate as they go only whatever corroborates themselves, and touches themselves;

For all that, they have it forever in themselves to corroborate far and near without one exception.






[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Tests
