4 Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction;
    pay attention and gain understanding.
²I give you sound learning,
    so do not forsake my teaching.
³For I too was a son to my father,
    still tender, and cherished by my mother.
⁴Then he taught me, and he said to me,
    “Take hold of my words with all your heart;
    keep my commands, and you will live.
⁵Get wisdom, get understanding;
    do not forget my words or turn away from them.
⁶Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
    love her, and she will watch over you.

[Proverbs 4:1-6]

Whoever you are holding me now in hand,

Without on thing all will be useless,

I give you fair warning before you attempt me further,

I am not what you supposed, but far different.

Who is he that would become my follower?

Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?

They way is suspicious, the result uncertain, perhaps destructive,

You would have to give up all else, I alone would expect

to be your sole and exclusive standard,

Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting,

The whole past theory of your life and all conformity to the lives

around you would have to be abandoned,

Therefore release me now before troubling yourself any further,

let go your hand from my shoulders,

Put me down and depart on your way.

~Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
