You neighbor of the Danube!
You working-man of the Rhine, the Elbe, or the
Weser! you working-woman too!
Weser! you working-woman too!
You Sardinian! you Bavarian! you Swabian! Saxon!
Wallachian! Bulgarian!
Wallachian! Bulgarian!
You citizen of Prague! you Roman! Neapolitan!
Greek!
Greek!
You lithe matador in the arena at Seville!
...
Each of us inevitable,
Each of us limitless—each of us with his or her
right upon the earth,
right upon the earth,
Each of us allowed the eternal purport of the earth,
Each of us here as divinely as any is here...
Salut au Monde! - Walt Whitman
