Walt Whitman

Book I. Inscriptions: Savantism

THITHER, as I look, I see each result and glory retracing itself and
        nestling close, always obligated;
  Thither hours, months, years—thither trades, compacts,
        establishments, even the most minute;
  Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, persons, estates;
  Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful, admirant,
  As a father, to his father going, takes his children along with him.
