Underneath the quote taken from Whitman's "Democratic Vistas": " We have frequently printed the word Democracy. Yet I cannot too often repeat that it is a word the real gist of which still sleeps quite unawaken'd notwithstanding the resonance and many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come from pen or tongue. It is a great word whose history I suppose remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted. It is in some sort younger brother of another great and often-used word NATURE whose history also waits unwritten. WALT WHITMAN".
