The spoken word on "Sheltered" is from "Tear Down and Build Over Again" by Walt Whitman.

Then these five hundred hearts prompted their owners to put on their hats on their heads and walk forth, and view their tenements and lands, for they were men of substance. Then they communed with themselves, and said in their own hearts, â€œLet us level to the earth all the houses that were not built within the last ten years; let us raise the devil and break things!â€ In pursuance of this resolve, they procured workmen, purchased hooks, ladders and battering rams, and went to work. Then fled tenants from under roofs that had sheltered them when in their cradles, and had witnessed their parentsâ€™ marriages â€” roofs aneath which they had grown up from childhood, and that were filled with the memories of many years.
