Weiß ich doch selber, so scheint mir´ s oft, wenig oder nichts von meinem wirklichen Leben;
Nur ein paar Fingerzeige, einige zerstreute schwache Anhaltspunkte auf weiten Umwegen
Suche ich hier für mich selbst zu entdecken.

Walt Whitman

[(As if any man really knew aught of my life, //] Why even I myself I often think know little or nothing of my real life, // Only a few hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections // I seek for my own use to trace out here.

Walt Whitman
Weiß ich doch selber, so scheint mir´ s oft, wenig oder nichts von meinem wirklichen… - Walt Whitman Zitate
