"Well it's our game; that's the chief fact in connection with it; it has the snap, go, fling of the American atmosphere; it belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly as our Constitution's laws; it is just as important in the sum total of our historic life."

--Walt Whitman (American poet, 1819-1892)
from With Walt Whitman in Camden by Horace Traubel, vol.4, 508
