Grand Is the Seen

Grand is the seen, the light, to megrand are the sky and stars,
Grand is the earth, and grand are lasting time and space,
And grand their laws, so multiform, puzzling, evolutionary;
But grander far the unseen soul of me, comprehending, endowing all those,
Lighting the light, the sky and stars, delving the earth, sailing the sea,
(What were all those, indeed, without thee, unseen soul? of what amount without
thee?)
More evolutionary, vast, puzzling, O my soul!
More multiform farmore lasting thou than they.
by Walt Whitman

MONDAY: In the first line Whitman writes, Grand is the seen what do you think
he means?

TUESDAY: The first three lines, Whitman is talking about things that can be seen.
He starts talking about something that cannot be seen, what is he talking about?

WEDNESDAY: What does Whitman think is the grandest thing of all? What lasts
longer than the things that can be seen?

THURSDAY: Whitman says that, without a witness, without someone seeing the
grand things in the world, the beauty of those things would disappear. What do
you think? Does something have to be witnessed, or seen, in order to be
appreciated or in order to be beautiful?
