"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fiber your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you."
--Walt Whitman, 'Song of Myself'

@bucktkd if you google "Walt Whitman American Experience", the first result should be the PBS site where you can "Watch the Program" (link on top left). the 4th and 5th results for me are the DVD on sale at ShopPBS.org and Amazon.com. Hope that helps!

@bucktkd : I didn't download it from PBS (this vid is a lot higher quality than that.) But when I do need to grab video from the web I use Grab Pro (Google it.)
