I am the poet of reality
I say The ^{know the} earth is not ^an echo;
Man ^{Nor man} not an apparition
But that all I see^seem is real [written over crossed-out illegible line]
And ^It is the witness and
this equally real
albic dawn of [illegible]
[several illegible words] not ^yet seen
But which ^{I know to be} equally
real. I know.
I know you too , solid
earth ^{[illegible] grow} and and rocks,
I have been
¶ I believe in ^{have split} the earth
and the hard coal and rock
And and the solid bed of the sea
And have sent my soul
And went down to take board ^reconnoitre there
a long time
And I may bring me back
it a report.
