A Noiseless Patient Spider by Walt Whitman

• A noiseless patient spider,
• I markd where on a little promontory it stood
  isolated,
• Markd how to explore the vacant vast
  surrounding,
• It launchd forth filament, filament, filament,
  out of itself,
• Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding
  them.

And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded,
detached, in measureless oceans of
space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,
seeking the Spheres to connect them, Till the
bridge you will need be formd, till the ductile
anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling
catch somewhere, O my soul.
