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
