    My Picture-Gallery



    By Walt Whitman

    1819-1892 

    alt



    In a little house keep I pictures suspended, it is not a fix'd house,

    It is round, it is only a few inches from one side to the other;

    Yet behold, it has room for all the shows of the world, all memories!

    Here the tableaus of life, and here the groupings of death;

    Here, do you know this? this is cicerone himself,

    With finger rais'd he points to the prodigal pictures.
