Image
The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
Image
O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you, Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
Walt Whitman
Image
A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.
Walt Whitman
Image
I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that years will ever stop the existence of me, or any one else.
Walt Whitman
Image
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
Here is not merely a nation but a teeming nation of nations.
Walt Whitman
Image
In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed of perfection.
Walt Whitman
Image
Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships The varied and ample land,--the South And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.
Walt Whitman
Image
The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
Image
I and this mystery, here we stand.
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 that I am to wait for what will be exhibited by death.
Walt Whitman
Image
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
