Spring



Urge and urge and urge,
Always the procreant urge of the world.


Out of the dimness opposite equals advance, always substance
and increase, always sex,
Always a knit of identity, always distinction, always a breed of life.


To elaborate is no avail, learn'd and unlearn'd feel that it is so.



-- Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass
