Image
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
Image
My ties and ballasts leave me - I travel - I sail - My elbows rest in the sea-gaps. I skirt the sierras. My palms cover continents - I am afoot with my vision.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will You, in all, Myself, with promise to never desert you, To which I sign my name.
Walt Whitman
Image
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
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
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Image
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first Be not discouraged - keep on - there are divine things, well envelop'd I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
Image
Speech is the twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain enough, why don't you let it out then?
Walt Whitman
Image
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Walt Whitman
Image
Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your income and labor to others... And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
Walt Whitman
Image
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
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
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
Walt Whitman
Image
To the real artist in humanity, what are called bad manners are often the most picturesque and significant of all.
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.
