Image
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
Image
The process of reading is not a half sleep, but in the highest sense, an exercise, a gymnast's struggle: that the reader is to do something for him or herself, must be on the alert, just construct indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay--the text furnishing the hints, the clue, the start, the framework.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell
Walt Whitman
Image
I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.

I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Walt Whitman
Image
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman

I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.
Walt Whitman

I think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost .
Walt Whitman
Image
All is procession the universe is a procession with measured and beautiful motion.
Walt Whitman
Image
My little notebooks were beginnings - they were the ground into which I dropped the seed... I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home.
Walt Whitman
Image
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
Image
We were together. I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
