Not you alone, proud truths of the world!
Nor you alone, ye facts of modern science!
But myths and fables of eld‐Asia's, Africs fables!
The far‐darting beams of the spirit! ‐ the unloos'd dreams!
The deep diving bibles and legends;
The daring plots of the poets ‐ the elder religions;
‐O you temples fairer than lilies, pour'd over by the rising sun!
O you fables, spurning the known, eluding the hold of the known, mounting to heaven!
You lofty and dazzling towers, pinnacled, red as roses, burnish'd with gold!
Towers of fables immortal, fashion'd from mortal dreams!
You too I welcome, and fully, the same as the rest;
You too with joy I sing.
Walt Whitman, Passage to India, 2, Passage, O soul, to India!
Then I went on, and my feet seemed to be a long way off, and everything seemed to come from a long way off, and I could hear my feet walking a great distance away.

I've got a map in my car that wants to be used, and I think there are places we can go that need to be seen. Maybe no one else will ever visit them and appreciate them or take the time to think they're important, but maybe even the smallest places mean something.
