Walt Whitman

Out of the cradle endlessly rocking, Out of the mocking bird's throat, the musical shuttle, . . . . A reminiscence sing.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less, it comes or it lags behind, It comes from its embowered garden and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country - I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.
Walt Whitman
Image
Women sit or move to and fro, some old, some young, / The young are beautiful--but the old are more beautiful than the young.
Walt Whitman
Image
I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
Walt Whitman
Image
Great is the faith of the flush of knowledge and of the investigation of the depths of qualities and things.
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
I am too not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
