Image
The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail
Walt Whitman
Image
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less, it comes or it lags behind, It comes from its embowered garden and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will not descend among professors and capitalists.
Walt Whitman
Image
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
Image
Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.
Walt Whitman

Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
Walt Whitman
Image
Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair.
Walt Whitman
Image
Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
Image
This face is a dog's snout sniffing for garbage, snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
Walt Whitman
Image
All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it.
Walt Whitman
Image
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
O joy of suffering! To struggle against great odds! to meet enemies undaunted! To be entirely alone with them! to find how much one can stand! To look strife, torture, prison, popular odium, death, face to face! To mount the scaffold! to advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance! To be indeed a God!
Walt Whitman
Image
What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free and own no superior?
Walt Whitman
Image
There can be no theory of any account unless it corroborate with the theory of the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.
