“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.”

Roll Call

“I am large, I contain multitudes. I am ready.”
“That life exists, and identity exists — that is the answer.”

Deploy

“Take to the open road!”
“Advance, staking every atom!”
“Charge forward to the song of grass!”

“O Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done.”

“Receive the cry of democracy!”
