Image
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
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 hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
Image
Wisdom is not finally tested by the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Image
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Image
I speak the password primeval I give the sign of democracy.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country - I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.
Walt Whitman
Image
O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
Walt Whitman
Image
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
Image
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side...The Bending forward and backward of the rowers...
Walt Whitman
Image
I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image
O amazement of things-even the least particle!
Walt Whitman
Image
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.
Walt Whitman
