And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.
Walt Whitman
Image
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman

Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
Image
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

The process of reading is not a half sleep, but in the highest sense, an exercise, a gymnast's struggle: that the reader is to do something for him or herself, must be on the alert, just construct indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay--the text furnishing the hints, the clue, the start, the framework.
Walt Whitman
Image
All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.
Walt Whitman
Image
Now I see that there is no such thing as love unreturn'd. The pay is certain, one way or another.
Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be not dishearten'd -- Affection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet Those who love each other shall become invincible.
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
What has miserable, inefficient Mexico...to do with the great mission of peopling the New World with a noble race?
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
Image
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
