Iron-Whitman2

Douglas Grohne

Youth, Day, Old Age and Night

Youth, large, lusty, loving--youth full of grace, force, fascination,
Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace,
force, fascination?

Day full-blown and splendid--day of the immense sun, action,
ambition, laughter,
The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and
restoring darkness.

Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass" 1855 and 1881 editions

I think old Walt would have liked to be an Iron Photographer. He certainly was an Iron Poet.
