Be a Bold Swimmer
“You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of
every moment of your life.
—
“Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the
shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to
me, shout and laughingly dash with your hair.” — Walt Whitman; Walt Whitman: Selected Poems (American Poets Project), p. 85
