"Now I see the secret ...."

Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons,
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth ....
Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof ....
Now I re-examine philosophies and religions,
They may prove well in lecture-rooms, yet not prove at all
Under the spacious clouds and along the landscape and flowing currents.
Song of the Open Road, Walt Whitman
