Walt Whitman
Image
Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later, delicate death.
Walt Whitman

Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
Walt Whitman

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image

Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.
Walt Whitman
Image
Copulation is no more foul to me than death is.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
Image
Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls.
Walt Whitman
Image
My call is the call of battle- I nourish active rebellion/ He going with me must go well armed.
Walt Whitman
Image
Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sing the body electric.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
