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

Walt Whitman
Image
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

Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
Image
I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
Walt Whitman
Image
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman

Nothing endures but personal qualities.
