Image
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.
Walt Whitman
Image
All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
Image
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
Image
The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night, Ya-honk! he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation: The pert may suppose it meaningless, but I listen closer, I find its purpose and place up there toward the November sky.
Walt Whitman
Image
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done, / The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won
Walt Whitman
Image
My rule has been, so far as I could have any rule (I could have no cast-iron rule) - my rule has been, to write what I have to say the best way I can - then lay it aside - taking it up again after some time and reading it afresh - the mind new to it. If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.

Walt Whitman
Image
Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Image
There was a child went forth everyday, And the first object he looked upon and received with wonder or pity or dread, that object he became, And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day... or for many years or stretching cycles of years.
Walt Whitman
Image
A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all.
Walt Whitman
Image
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.
Walt Whitman
Image
Wisdom is not finally tested by the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.
Walt Whitman
Image
Have you not learned the most in your life from those with whom you disagreed - those who saw it differently from you?
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end, But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.
Walt Whitman
