To-day and Thee me me me

Walt Whitman

The appointed winners in a long-stretch'd game;

The course of Time and nations -- Egypt, India, Greece and Rome;

The past entire, with all its heroes, histories, arts, experiments,

Its store of songs, inventions, voyages, teachers, books,

Garner'd for now and thee me me me -- To think of it!

The heirdom all converged in thee me me me!
