NUMBER:7395
AUTHOR:Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
QUOTATION:I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, “Do not weep for me,
This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country—I now go back there,
I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.”
