Identity

Always a knit of identity, always

distinction, always a breed of life.

To elaborate is no avail, learn’d

and unlearn’d feel that it is so.

Sure as the most certain sure,

plumb in the uprights, well

entretied, braced in the beams,

Stout as a horse, affectionate,

haughty, electrical,

I and this mystery here we stand.

— Walt Whitman
