More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
Image
Why are there men and women that while they are nigh me the sunlight expands my blood? Why when they leave me do my pennants of joy sink flat and lank?
Walt Whitman
Image
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
Walt Whitman
Image

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

Walt Whitman
Image
I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?

The future is no more uncertain than the present.
Walt Whitman
Image
You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long.
