Passage to India

Here's a passage that arrived with this card, which appeared in Sunday Times:
Passage to India!  
Lo, soul! seest thou not God’s purpose from the first?
The earth to be spann’d, connected by net-work,
The people to become brothers and sisters,
The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage,
The oceans to be cross’d, the distant brought near,  
The lands to be welded together.
Walt Whitman (1819–1892).
