“o i have been dilatory and dumb
i should have made my way straight to you long ago
i should have blabb’d nothing but you, i should have chanted nothing but you.” --whitman

I live in the met area - I ALWAYS get on at Dupont to marvel at this inscription. The steepness of the escalators at this particular stop is the most dreadful I have seen, but willingly endured for the sake of the quote.
