"The Rounded Catalogue Divine Complete"

Title:     "The Rounded Catalogue Divine Complete"
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

The devilish and the dark, the dying and diseas'd,
The countless (nineteen-twentieths) low and evil, crude and savage,
The crazed, prisoners in jail, the horrible, rank, malignant,
Venom and filth, serpents, the ravenous sharks, liars, the dissolute;
(What is the part the wicked and the loathesome bear within earth's orbic scheme?)
Newts, crawling things in slime and mud, poisons,
The barren soil, the evil men, the slag and hideous rot.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: "The Rounded Catalogue Divine Complete"
