    Walt Whitman
    “Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
    I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
    In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass;
    I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name,
    And I leave them where they are,
    for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever.”
