I am not an earth
I am not an earth nor an adjunct of an earth,
I am the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and fathomless as myself,
(They do not know how immortal, but I know.)
I see through the broadcloth and gingham whether or no,
And am around, tenacious, acquisitive, tireless, and cannot be shaken away.
(7, Song of Myself / Walt Whitman)
Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die -
(My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun / Emily Dickinson)
