MANHATTAN'S streets I saunter'd pondering	A
On time space reality on such as these and abreast with them	B
prudence	C
	-
	-
After all the last explanation remains to be made about prudence	C
Little and large alike drop quietly aside from the prudence that	D
suits immortality	E
	-
The Soul is of itself	F
All verges to it all has reference to what ensues	G
All that a person does says thinks is of consequence	C
Not a move can a man or woman make that affects him or her in a day	H
month any part of the direct life time or the hour of death	I
but the same affects him or her onward afterward through the	J
indirect life time	K
	-
	-
The indirect is just as much as the direct	L
The spirit receives from the body just as much as it gives to the	J
body if not more	M
	-
Not one word or deed not venereal sore discoloration privacy of	N
the onanist putridity of gluttons or rum drinkers peculation	O
cunning betrayal murder seduction prostitution but has	P
results beyond death as really as before death	I
	-
	-
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything	A
	-
No specification is necessary all that a male or female does that	D
is vigorous benevolent clean is so much profit to him or	M
her in the unshakable order of the universe and through the	J
whole scope of it forever	Q
	-
	-
Who has been wise receives interest	R
Savage felon President judge farmer sailor mechanic literat	R
young old it is the same	S
The interest will come round all will come round	R
	-
Singly wholly to affect now affected their time will forever	Q
affect all of the past and all of the present and all of the	J
future	Q
All the brave actions of war and peace	T
All help given to relatives strangers the poor old sorrowful	U
young children widows the sick and to shunn'd persons	V
All furtherance of fugitives and of the escape of slaves	W
All self denial that stood steady and aloof on wrecks and saw others	X
fill the seats of the boats	Y
All offering of substance or life for the good old cause or for a	J
friend's sake or opinion's sake	Z
All pains of enthusiasts scoff'd at by their neighbors	X
All the limitless sweet love and precious suffering of mothers	X
All honest men baffled in strifes recorded or unrecorded	R
All the grandeur and good of ancient nations whose fragments we	E
inherit	R
All the good of the dozens of ancient nations unknown to us by name	S
date location	O
All that was ever manfully begun whether it succeeded or no	O
All suggestions of the divine mind of man or the divinity of his	A2
mouth or the shaping of his great hands	B2
All that is well thought or said this day on any part of the globe	C2
or on any of the wandering stars or on any of the fix'd stars	D2
by those there as we are here	E2
All that is henceforth to be thought or done by you whoever you are	F2
or by any one	O
These inure have inured shall inure to the identities from which	G2
they sprang or shall spring	A
	-
	-
Did you guess anything lived only its moment	R
The world does not so exist no parts palpable or impalpable so	O
exist	R
No consummation exists without being from some long previous	H2
consummation and that from some other	Q
Without the farthest conceivable one coming a bit nearer the	J
beginning than any	E
	-
	-
Whatever satisfies Souls is true	I2
Prudence entirely satisfies the craving and glut of Souls	J2
Itself only finally satisfies the Soul	K2
The Soul has that measureless pride which revolts from every lesson	O
but its own	O
	-
	-
Now I give you an inkling	A
Now I breathe the word of the prudence that walks abreast with time	K
space reality	E
That answers the pride which refuses every lesson but its own	O
	-
What is prudence is indivisible	U
Declines to separate one part of life from every part	R
Divides not the righteous from the unrighteous or the living from	L2
the dead	R
Matches every thought or act by its correlative	N
Knows no possible forgiveness or deputed atonement	R
Knows that the young man who composedly peril'd his life and lost it	R
has done exceedingly well for himself without doubt	R
That he who never peril'd his life but retains it to old age in	O
riches and ease has probably achiev'd nothing for himself	N
worth mentioning	A
Knows that only that person has really learn'd who has learn'd to	I2
prefer results	M2
Who favors Body and Soul the same	S
Who perceives the indirect assuredly following the direct	R
Who in his spirit in any emergency whatever neither hurries or	M
avoids death	I
