Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
Image
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, A sun-lit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding And haze, and vista, and the far horizon, fading away.
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

Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman

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.

I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy
Walt Whitman

Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later, delicate death.
Walt Whitman
Image
Oh, to be alive in such an age, when miracles are everywhere, and every inch of common air throbs a tremendous prophecy, of greater marvels yet to be.
Walt Whitman
Image
The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.
Walt Whitman
Image
I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
Walt Whitman
Image
When one reaches out to help another he touches the face of God.
Walt Whitman
Image
O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
Walt Whitman
Image
I dote on myself. There is a lot of me and all so luscious.
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
