Image
I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
Image
An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman
Image
I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country - I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear.
Walt Whitman
Image
NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will You, in all, Myself, with promise to never desert you, To which I sign my name.
Walt Whitman
Image
Unscrew the locks from the doors ! Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs !
Walt Whitman
Image
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Walt Whitman
Image
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Image
When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
Image
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less, it comes or it lags behind, It comes from its embowered garden and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world.
Walt Whitman
Image
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.
