Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious (“manifest”) and certain (“destiny”).

I sold all my furniture, packed up all my books, vacuum-sealed my clothes, and flew west for good. Now what?

    XVI

    one’s not half two.  It’s two are halves of one.
    which halves reintegrating,shall occur
    no death and any quantity;but than
    all numerable mosts the actual more

    minds ignorant of stern miraculous
    this every truth—beware of heartless them
    (given the scalpel,they dissect a kiss;
    or,sold the reason,they undream a dream)

    one is the song which fiends and angels sing:
    all murdering lies by mortals told make two.
    Let liars wilt,repaying life they’re loaned;
    we(by a gift called dying born)must grow

    deep in dark least ourselves remembering
    love only rides his year.
    All lose,whole find.

    e.e. cummings
