About me

Location	Reykjavik, Iceland
Introduction	I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame, I hear secret cunvulsive sobs from young men at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done, I see in low life the mother misused by her children, dying neglected, gaunt, desperate, I see the wife misused be her husband, I see the treacherous seducer of young women, I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love attempted to be hid, I see these sights on the earth, I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny, I see martyrs and prisoners, I observe a famine at sea, I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd to preserve the lives of the rest, I observe the slights and degredations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like; All these- all the meanness and agony without end I sitting look out upon, See, hear, and am silent. (Walt Whitman 1819-1892).

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame, I hear secret cunvulsive sobs from young men at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done, I see in low life the mother misused by her children, dying neglected, gaunt, desperate, I see the wife misused be her husband, I see the treacherous seducer of young women, I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love attempted to be hid, I see these sights on the earth, I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny, I see martyrs and prisoners, I observe a famine at sea, I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd to preserve the lives of the rest, I observe the slights and degredations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like; All these- all the meanness and agony without end I sitting look out upon, See, hear, and am silent.
