Analysis and comments on To Rich Givers. by Walt Whitman

Comment 1 of 1, added on September 15th, 2009 at 3:27 AM.

I use the line "I bestow upon any man or woman the entrance to all the
gifts of the universe" as one of my credos. Whenever I use it my listener
is ALWAYS impressed. As Walt would say. within you is the ability to do
great things. He's bestowing the entrance only. As Emerson admonishes
"make the best of yourself because that's all there is of you.".
