Oh captain my captain
Walt Whitman
Image
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Walt Whitman
Image
Press close, bare-bosomed Night! Press close, magnetic, nourishing Night! Night of south winds! Night of the large, few stars! Still, nodding Night! Mad, naked, Summer Night!
Walt Whitman
Image
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise, Regardless of others, ever regardful of others, Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man, Stuffed with the stuff that is course, and stuffed with the stuff that is fine.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
Walt Whitman
Image
The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
Walt Whitman

Give me such shows - give me the streets of Manhattan!
Walt Whitman

When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman

To have great poets, there must be great audiences.

If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road.
Walt Whitman
Image
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.
Walt Whitman
Image
The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again and ever again, this soiled world.
Walt Whitman
Image
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.

I meet new Walt Whitmans everyday. There are a dozen of them afloat. I don't know which Walt Whitman I am.
