I announce a man or woman coming, perhaps you are the one, ( So long! ) I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compassionate, fully arm’d.

I announce a life that shall be copious, vehement, spiritual, bold, I announce an end that shall lightly and joyfully meet its translation.

I announce myriads of youths, beautiful, gigantic, sweet-blooded, I announce a race of splendid and savage old men.

O thicker and faster⁠—( So long! ) O crowding too close upon me, I foresee too much, it means more than I thought, It appears to me I am dying.
