• I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent in any iota of the world; I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects, vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than I have supposed.

    Walt Whitman: I do not doubt but the majest and beauty of the world are latent
 in any iota of the world;
 I do not doubt there is far more in trivialities, insects, 
 vulgar persons, slaves, dwarfs, weeds, rejected refuse than 
 I have supposed.
    Walt Whitman (1861). “Leaves of Grass”, p.217
