Walt Whitman
Image
To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sing the body electric.
Walt Whitman
Image
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image

Image
I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman
Image

Walt Whitman
Image
Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books.
Walt Whitman
Image
The ecstasy is so short but the forgetting is so long.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art... is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.
Walt Whitman
Image
I and this mystery, here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
Image
Unscrew the locks from the doors ! Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs !
Walt Whitman
Image
What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free and own no superior?
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dance with the dancers.
