Now I will do nothing but listen to accrue what I hear into this song. To let sounds contribute toward it. I hear the sound I love. The sound of the human voice. I hear all sounds running together.
Walt Whitman

I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
Walt Whitman

I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman

In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.

Walt Whitman
Image
I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete, The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken.
Walt Whitman
Image
To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom - one brief hour of madness and joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
O Earth, that hast no voice, confide to me a voice! O harvest of my lands! O boundless summer growths! O lavish, brown, parturient earth! O infinite, teeming womb! A verse to seek, to see, to narrate thee.
Walt Whitman
Image
The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman
