Judge a man by the content of his character; Not the color of his skin
I like this man’s character
The male is not less the soul nor more, he too is in his place,
He too is all qualities, he is action and power,
The flush of the known universe is in him,
Scorn becomes him well, and appetite and defiance become him well,
The wildest largest passions, bliss that is utmost, sorrow that is utmost become
him well, pride is for him,
The full-spread pride of man is calming and excellent to the soul,
Knowledge becomes him, he likes it always, he brings every thing to the test of
himself,
Whatever the survey, whatever the sea and the sail he strikes soundings at last
only here,
(Where else does he strike soundings except here?)
Walt Whitman
