I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.
Walt Whitman
Image
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
Image
What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires - how many aspirations after goodness and truth - how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!
