Discovering as much
or more in a
framer framing a house,
Putting higher claims for him there
with his rolled-up sleeves,
driving
the mallet and chisel;
Not objecting to special revelations
....
considering a curl of smoke or
a
hair on the back of my hand as
curious as any revelation
(Song of Myself
74)
