Shut Not Your Doors

Title:     Shut Not Your Doors
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Shut not your doors to me proud libraries,

For that which was lacking on all your well-fill'd shelves, yet needed most, I bring,

Forth from the war emerging, a book I have made,

The words of my book nothing, the drift of it every thing,

A book separate, not link'd with the rest nor felt by the intellect,

But you ye untold latencies will thrill to every page.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Shut Not Your Doors
