All music is is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments.
Walt Whitman
Image
I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am satisfied ... I see, dance, laugh, sing.
Walt Whitman
Image

This face is a dog's snout sniffing for garbage, snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
Walt Whitman
Image
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.
Walt Whitman

Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish what good amid these, O me, O life?
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
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
Image
Everybody is writing, writing, writing - worst of all, writing poetry. It'd be better if the whole tribe of the scribblers - every damned one of us - were sent off somewhere with tool chests to do some honest work.
Walt Whitman
Image
Something there is more immortal even than the stars.
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

Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
