Speaker 1: Andy War Myself and Mine gymnastic Ever to stand the
0:12
Speaker 1: cold or heat, to take good aim with a gun,
0:16
Speaker 1: to sail a boat, to manage horses, to beget superb children,
0:22
Speaker 1: to speak readily and clearly, to feel at home among
0:25
Speaker 1: common people, and to hold our own in terrible positions
0:29
Speaker 1: on land and sea. Not for an embroiderer. There will
0:33
Speaker 1: always be plenty of embroiderers. I welcome them also, but
0:37
Speaker 1: for the fiber of things, and for inherent men and women.
0:41
Speaker 1: Not to chisel ornaments, but to chisel with free stroke,
0:44
Speaker 1: the heads and limbs of plenteous supreme gods, that the
0:49
Speaker 1: states may realize them walking and talking. Let me have
0:53
Speaker 1: my own way. Let others promulge the laws. I will
0:57
Speaker 1: make no account of the laws. Let others pray eminent
1:00
Speaker 1: men and hold up peace. I hold up agitation and conflict.
1:05
Speaker 1: I praise no eminent man. I rebuke to his face
1:09
Speaker 1: the one that was thought most worthy. Who are you
1:13
Speaker 1: and what are you secretly guilty of? All your life?
1:16
Speaker 1: Will you turn aside all your life? Will you grub
1:19
Speaker 1: and chatter all your life? And who are you blabbing
1:22
Speaker 1: by ropes, years, pages, languages, reminiscences, unwitting to day that
1:29
Speaker 1: you do not know how to speak properly a single word.
1:34
Speaker 1: Let others finish specimens. I never finish specimens. I start
1:39
Speaker 1: them by exhaustless laws, as nature does, fresh and modern continually.
1:44
Speaker 1: I give nothing as duties. What others give as duties,
1:48
Speaker 1: I give as living impulses. Shall I give the heart's
1:51
Speaker 1: action as a duty. Let others dispose of questions. I
1:56
Speaker 1: dispose of nothing. I arouse unanswerable questions. Who are they
2:01
Speaker 1: I see and touch? And what about them? What about
2:05
Speaker 1: these likes of myself that draw me so close by
2:07
Speaker 1: tender directions and indirections? I call to the world to
2:12
Speaker 1: distrust the accounts of my friends, but listen to my
2:15
Speaker 1: enemies as I myself do. I charge you forever reject
2:20
Speaker 1: those who would expound me, for I cannot expound myself.
2:24
Speaker 1: I charge that there be no theory or school founded
2:27
Speaker 1: out of me. I charge you to leave all free,
2:31
Speaker 1: as I have left all free after me. Vista, Oh,

Speaker 1: I see life is not short, but immeasurably long. I
2:40

Speaker 5: common people, and to hold our own in terrible positions
24:25
Speaker 5: on land and sea. Not for an embroiderer. There will
24:30
Speaker 5: always be plenty of embroiderers. I welcome them also, but
24:35
Speaker 5: for the fiber of things, and for inherent men and women.
24:40
Speaker 5: Not to chisel ornaments, but to chisel with free stroke
24:44
Speaker 5: the heads and limbs of plenty supreme gods, that the
24:48
Speaker 5: states may realize them walking and talking. Let me have
24:52
Speaker 5: my own way. Let others promulge the laws. I will
24:58
Speaker 5: make no account of the laws. Let others praise eminent
25:02
Speaker 5: men and hold up peace. I hold up agitation and conflict.
25:08
Speaker 5: I praise no eminent man. I rebuke to his face
25:13
Speaker 5: the one that was thought most worthy. Who are you
25:18
Speaker 5: and what are you secretly guilty of? All your life?
25:22
Speaker 5: Will you turn aside all your life? Will you grub
25:25
Speaker 5: and chatter all your life? And who are you blabbin
25:30
Speaker 5: by road, years, pages, languages, reminiscences, unwitting to day that
25:36
Speaker 5: you do not know how to speak properly a single word.
25:41
Speaker 5: Let others finish specimens. I never finish specimens. I start
25:47
Speaker 5: them by exhaustless laws, as nature does, fresh and modern continually.
25:54
Speaker 5: I give nothing as duties. What others give as duties,
25:59
Speaker 5: I give as living impulses. Shall I give the hearts
26:03
Speaker 5: action as a duty. Let others dispose of questions, I
26:09
Speaker 5: dispose of nothing. I arouse unanswerable questions. Who are they
26:15
Speaker 5: I see and touch? And what about them? What about
26:19
Speaker 5: these likes of myself that draw me so close by
26:23
Speaker 5: tender directions and indirections? I call to the world to
26:29
Speaker 5: distrust the accounts of my friends, but listen to my
26:33
Speaker 5: enemies as I myself do. I charge you forever reject
26:39
Speaker 5: those who would expound me, for I cannot expound myself.
26:45
Speaker 5: I charge that there be no theory or school founded
26:48
Speaker 5: out of me. I charge you to leave all free,
26:52
Speaker 5: as I have left all free after me. Vista, Oh,
26:58
Speaker 5: I see life is not short, but immeasurably long. I
27:03
Speaker 5: henceforth tread the world chaste, temperate, an early riser, a
27:08
Speaker 5: steady grower every hour, the seamen of centuries and still
27:14
Speaker 5: of centuries. I must follow up these continual lessons of
27:19
Speaker 5: the air, water, earth. I perceive I have no time
27:24
Speaker 5: to lose. End of poem. This recording is in the
