My Picture-callery

Walt Whitman

   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.
