Mediums - Poem by Walt Whitman
THEY shall arise in the States, They shall report Nature, laws, physiology, and happiness; They shall illustrate Democracy and the kosmos; They shall be alimentive, amative, perceptive; They shall be complete women and men--their pose brawny and supple, their drink water, their blood clean and clear; They shall enjoy materialism and the sight of products--they shall enjoy the sight of the beef, lumber, bread-stuffs, of Chicago, the great city; They shall train themselves to go in public to become orators and oratresses; Strong and sweet shall their tongues be--poems and materials of poems shall come from their lives--they shall be makers and finders; Of them, and of their works, shall emerge divine conveyers, to convey gospels; Characters, events, retrospections, shall be convey'd in gospels --Trees, animals, waters, shall be convey'd, 10 Death, the future, the invisible faith, shall all be convey'd.

他们必将在美国兴起,
他们要报道大自然,法律,生理学,幸福,
他们要阐明民主和宇宙万物,
他们必须富于营养,会恋爱,感觉灵敏,
他们必须是完整的女人和男人,他们的体态强健而柔韧,他们
饮的是水,他们的血液洁净而清纯,
他们要充分享受物质和眼前的产品,他们要观赏大城市芝加哥
的牛肉、木材、面粉,
他们要训练自己深入大众,成为男演说家和女演说家,
他们的语言必须是强有力的、美妙的,他们必须是创造者和发
现者,诗歌和诗材定要从他们的生活中产生,
一定会出现传播他们和他们的作品的人,传播福音的人,
人物、事件、回忆一定会在福音中传播,树木、动物、流水一
定被传播,
死亡,未来,不可见的信念,也一定被广为传送。
