Either define the moment or the moment will define you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry), Our life is closed, our life begins, The long, long anchorage we leave, The ship is clear at last, she leaps! She swiftly courses from the shore, Joy, shipmate, joy!
Walt Whitman

Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
Image
I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
Image
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done, / The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won
Walt Whitman
Image
I will sleep no more but arise, You oceans that have been calm within me! how I feel you, fathomless, stirring, preparing unprecedented waves and storms.
Walt Whitman
Image
O magnet-South! O glistening perfumed South! My South! O quick mettle, rich blood, impulse and love! Good and evil! O all dear to me!
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
Walt Whitman
Image
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking bird's throat, the musical shuttle, . . . . A reminiscence sing.
Walt Whitman
Image
Women sit or move to and fro, some old, some young, / The young are beautiful--but the old are more beautiful than the young.
Walt Whitman
Image
We consider bibles and religions divine I do not say they are not divine. I say they have all grown out of you, and may grow out of you still. It is not they who give the life, it is you who give the life.
Walt Whitman
Image
What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman
Image
Now I see that there is no such thing as love unreturn'd. The pay is certain, one way or another.
Walt Whitman
Image
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever degrades another degrades me.
