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 letter from God dropt in the street,
and every one is sign'd by God's name,
And I leave them wheresoe'er I go,
Others will punctually come for ever and ever.
—Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself"
as reproduced in the Peter Pauper edition of Leaves of Grass
