Prefaces and Prologues to Famous Books

PREFACE TO LEAVES OF GRASS
15/84

Who recruits him recruits horse and foot ...
he fetches parks of artillery the best that engineer ever knew.

If the time becomes slothful and heavy he knows how to arouse it ...

he can make every word he speaks draw blood.

Whatever stagnates in the flat of custom or obedience or legislation he never stagnates.

Obedience does not master him, he masters it.
