I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise, Regardless of others, ever regardful of others, Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man, Stuffed with the stuff that is course, and stuffed with the stuff that is fine.
Walt Whitman

Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you.
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

We convince by our presence.
Walt Whitman

What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman

There was never any more inception than there is now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now And will never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
Walt Whitman
Image
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
