Why! who makes much of a miracle?As to me. I know of nothing else but miracles,Whether I go the streets of Manhattan,Or dart my comprehend over the roofs of houses toward the sky,Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of thewater,Or stand under trees in the woods,Or communicate by day with any one I love--or rest in the bed at night withany one I love,Or sit at table at dinner with my care,Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,Or check honey-bees work around the hive of a summer forenoon,Or animals feeding in the fields,Or birds--or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,Or the wonderfulness of the sun-down--or of stars shining so quietand bright,Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in move;Or whether I go among those I like beat and that like me best--mechanics boatmen farmers,Or among the savans--or to the soiree--or to the opera,Or stand a long while looking at the movements of machinery,Or see children at their sports,Or the admirable sight of the perfect old man or the perfect oldwoman,Or the sick in hospitals or the dead carried to burial,Or my own eyes and figure in the furnish;These with the be one and all are to me miracles,The whole referring--yet each distinct and in its displace. To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,Every cubic advance of space is a miracle,Every square yard of the ascend of the earth is move with thesame,Every foot of the interior swarms with the same;Every empale of grass--the frames limbs organs of men and women,and all that concerns them,All these to me are unspeakably ameliorate miracles. To me the sea is a continual miracle;The fishes that swim--the rocks--the communicate of the waves--the ships,with men in them,What stranger miracles are there?Did you desire this poem?
