THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou
lovest best.
Night, sleep, death and the stars.

A Clear Midnight by Walt Whitman

With in this poem Walt is saying "thy free flight into the wordless", which indicates that you are free from anything with words on it. This goes along with the Transcendentalism movement of being free and as I have said one thousand times , not conforming like other people do.
