Broadway

from Leaves of Grass: BOOK XXXIV. SANDS AT SEVENTY - by Walt Whitman.

  What hurrying human tides, or day or night!
  What passions, winnings, losses, ardors, swim thy waters!
  What whirls of evil, bliss and sorrow, stem thee!
  What curious questioning glances—glints of love!
  Leer, envy, scorn, contempt, hope, aspiration!
  Thou portal—thou arena—thou of the myriad long-drawn lines and groups!
  (Could but thy flagstones, curbs, facades, tell their inimitable tales;
  Thy windows rich, and huge hotels—thy side-walks wide;)
  Thou of the endless sliding, mincing, shuffling feet!
  Thou, like the parti-colored world itself—like infinite, teeming,
      mocking life!
  Thou visor’d, vast, unspeakable show and lesson!

Of That Blithe Throat of Thine	To Get the Final Lilt of Songs
