On this day in 1819, poet Walt Whitman was born on Long Island, in New York.

 

“The clock indicates the moment – but what does eternity indicate?

 

We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers,

There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.

 

Births have brought us richness and variety,

And other births will bring us richness and variety.

 

I do not call one greater and one smaller,

That which fills its period and place is equal to any.”

 

-Walt Whitman, Song of Myself (1892 version)
