RELIGIO JOURNALISTICI
It is not upon you alone the dark patches fall....
I too knitted the old knot of contrariety,
Had guile, anger, lust, hot wishes I dared not speak,
Was wayward, vain, greedy, shallow, sly, cowardly, malignant....
Refusals, hates, postponements, meanness, laziness, none of these wanting,
Saw many I loved in the street or ferry-boat or public assembly, yet never told them a word.
—Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.”
