Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
Walt Whitman
Image
When I undertake to tell the best, I find I cannot. My tongue is ineffectual on its pivots, My breath will not be obedient to its organs, I become a dumb man.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her shall I follow.
Walt Whitman

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
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
Loafe with me on the grass—loose the stop from your throat Not words, not music or rhyme I want—not custom or lecture, not even the best Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice.
Walt Whitman
Image
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Walt Whitman
