Quote

Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road.

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
This face is a dog's snout sniffing for garbage, snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see behind each mask that wonder a kindred soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me the splendid, silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.

If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.

Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.

Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Walt Whitman

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman

All the past we leave behind We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!
Walt Whitman
Image
All beauty comes from beautiful blood and a beautiful brain.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth I dreamed that was the new City of Friends Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.

Old age: The estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it pours into the Great Sea.
Walt Whitman
Image
The mother condemned for a witch and burnt with dry wood, and her children gazing on The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the fence, blowing and covered with sweat, The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck, The murderous buckshot and the bullets, All these I feel or am.
Walt Whitman

And as to me, I know nothing else but miracles
Walt Whitman

I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy
