    The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon. In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    I am given up by traitors,
    I talk wildly, I have lost my wits, I and nobody else am the greatest traitor,
    I went myself first to the headland, my own hands carried me there.

    You villain touch! what are you doing? my breath is tight in its throat,
    Unclench your floodgates, you are too much for me.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    No one to slap his head.
