Walt Whitman - To Foreign Lands. 

I HEARD that you ask’d for something to prove this puzzle, the New World, 
And to define America, her athletic Democracy; 
Therefore I send you my poems, that you behold in them what you wanted.

I feel that Walt Whitmans Inscription here is a valued statement of the very active changing societal times. He has intent to voice as an artist, that, of which he witnesses as a profound forebearer of truth of the journey and direction of life's society at this time.
