More quotes by Walt Whitman
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
Walt Whitman
Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am, Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary, Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest, Looking with side-curved head curious what will come next, Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Walt Whitman
Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful stroke!
Walt Whitman
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish what good amid these, O me, O life?
Walt Whitman
Seasons pursuing each other the indescribable crowd is gathered, it is the fourth of Seventh-month, (what salutes of cannon and small arms!
Walt Whitman
Agonies are one of my changes of garments.
Walt Whitman
Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
Peace is always beautiful.
