The eternal equilibrium of things is great, and the eternal overthrow of things is great, And there is another paradox. Great is life . . and real and mystical . . wherever and whoever, Great is death . . . . Sure as life holds all parts together, death holds all parts together; Sure as the stars return again after they merge in the light, death is great as life.
Leaves Of Grass: The First Edition of 1855 + The Death Bed Edition of 1892
