Image
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
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
Here the frailest leaves of me and yet my strongest lasting, Here I shade and hide my thoughts, I myself do not expose them, And yet they expose me more than all my other poems
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me such shows - give me the streets of Manhattan!
Walt Whitman
Image
The city sleeps and the country sleeps, the living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time, the old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife and these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, and such as it is to be of these more or less I am, and of these one and all I weave the song of myself.
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
The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.
Walt Whitman
Image
And a summit and flower there is the feeling they have for each other, And they are to branch boundlessly out of that lesson until it becomes omnific, And until one and all shall delight us, and we them.
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
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
I know perfectly well my own egotism.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
Image
I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
A man can be a hero in any profession
Walt Whitman
Image
Unscrew the locks from the doors ! Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs !
Walt Whitman
Image
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over.
Walt Whitman
Image
I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
Walt Whitman
Image
I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
