More quotes by Walt Whitman
Oh captain my captain
Walt Whitman
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.
Walt Whitman
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. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all.
Walt Whitman
Ah little recks the laborer, How near his work is holding him to God, The loving Laborer through space and time
Walt Whitman
The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.
Walt Whitman
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
Walt Whitman
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman
Youth, large, lusty, loving -- Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?
Walt Whitman
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth ever afterward resumes its liberty.
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
Strange, (is it not?) that battles, martyrs, blood, even assassination should so condense - perhaps only really lastingly condense - a Nationality.
Walt Whitman
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Now I will do nothing but listen to accrue what I hear into this song. To let sounds contribute toward it. I hear the sound I love. The sound of the human voice. I hear all sounds running together.
Walt Whitman
Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I can bear it.
Walt Whitman
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
