Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls.
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

An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman

Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.
Walt Whitman
Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
Walt Whitman
