I never thought I'd hear the voice of Walt Whitman. What a treat!

The missing last two lines:

"A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair'd in the adamant of Time."

[Steppe]

Would love to listen to it WH but with dialup it takes all day. I live out here with the coyotes and we just can't get broadband yet. The coyotes will get it I think before I do.
