Reversals

Walt Whitman

Let that which stood in front go behind, Let that which was behind advance to the front, Let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, Let the old propositions be postponed,

Let a man seek pleasure everywhere except in himself, Let a woman seek happiness everywhere except in herself
