More quotes by Walt Whitman
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
Walt Whitman
My spirit has pass'd in compassion and determination around the whole earth. I have look'd for equals and lovers an found them ready for me in all lands, I think some divine rapport has equalized me with them
Walt Whitman
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman
Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later, delicate death.
Walt Whitman
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
Walt Whitman
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Walt Whitman
If you done it, it ain't bragging.
Walt Whitman
O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done.
Walt Whitman
The moon gives you light, and the bugles and the drums give you music, and my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans, my heart gives you love.
Walt Whitman
Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships The varied and ample land,--the South And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.
Walt Whitman
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
Walt Whitman
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.
Walt Whitman
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd / And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night, / I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Walt Whitman
There will never be any more perfection than there is now.
Walt Whitman
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
Walt Whitman
