I Contain Multitudes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Buffalodavid  

Cover art for I Contain Multitudes lyrics by Bob Dylan

Song of Myself 51 by Walt Whitman\nDo I contradict myself?\nVery well then I contradict myself,\n(I am large, I contain multitudes.)\n\nWe all contain inconsistencies as we are all human.\nBob himself has been accused of this, and he seems to agree with Walt.\n\nEmerson told us “ A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”\n\nI do note that he qualified it with foolish.

My Opinion

This is what I get for copying and pasting.\r\nPlease ignore the “n”s everywhere.
