Dupont Metro – Walt Whitman Quote

The poem inscribed at the entrance to the Dupont Metro reads:

Thus in silence in dreams’ projections,
Returning, resuming, I thread my way through the hospitals;
The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand,
I sit by the restless all dark night – some are so young;
Some suffer so much – I recall the experience sweet and sad…

– The Wound Dresser from Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, 1876
