Image
My spirit has pass'd in compassion and determination around the whole earth. I have look'd for equals and lovers an found them ready for me in all lands, I think some divine rapport has equalized me with them
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
I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, And accrue what I hear into myself...and let sound contribute toward me.
Walt Whitman

A Song of the good green grass! A song no more of the city streets A song of farms - a song of the soil of fields. A song with the smell of sun-dried hay, where the nimble pitchers handle the pitch-fork A song tasting of new wheat, and of fresh-husk'd maize.

Walt Whitman

Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry), Our life is closed, our life begins, The long, long anchorage we leave, The ship is clear at last, she leaps! She swiftly courses from the shore, Joy, shipmate, joy!
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
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
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I can bear it.
Walt Whitman
Image
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
Walt Whitman
Image
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.
