The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything.
Walt Whitman

In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
Walt Whitman
Image
The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night, Ya-honk! he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation: The pert may suppose it meaningless, but I listen closer, I find its purpose and place up there toward the November sky.
Walt Whitman
Image
