Dazzling and tremendous how quick the sun-rise would kill me, if I could not now and always send sun-rise out of me.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
I open my scuttle at night and see the far-sprinkled systems, All all I see multiplied as high as I can cipher edge but the rim of the farther systems. Wider and wider they spread, expanding, always expanding, Outward and outward and forever outward.
Walt Whitman
Image
All the past we leave behind We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!

I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compassionate, fully armed I announce a life that shall be copious, vehement, spiritual, bold, And I announce an end that shall lightly and joyfully meet its translation.
Walt Whitman
Image
All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
So here I sit in the early candle-light of old age-I and my book-casting backward glances over out travel'd road.
Walt Whitman
Image
When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.
Walt Whitman
Image
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.
Walt Whitman
Image
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
