SHAKSPEREShakespeare-BACON'S CIPHER

by Walt Whitman · 1891-1892
Published 01/07/1891

I DOUBT it not—then more, far more;

In each old song bequeath'd—in every noble page or text,

(Different—something unreck'd before—some unsuspected author,)

In every object, mountain, tree, and star—in every birth and life,

As part of each—evolv'd from each—meaning, behind the os-tentostent,

A mystic cipher waits infolded.
