I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
我赞美我自己,歌唱我自己, 我承担的你也将承担, 因为属于我的每一个原子也同样属于你。
惠特曼《草叶集》《自己之歌》
本诗1855年出版的《草叶集》Leaves of Grass中首次发表时没有诗题。后来用Poem of Walt Whitman, an American(1856),Walt Whitman(1860),等不同名陆续发表,最后才用Song of Myself的,诗中表明了两信仰:普遍性信仰;人类个别性和平等性。 http://www.mypcera.com/book/si/huiteman/poem/009.htm
