More quotes by Walt Whitman
Be curious, not judgmental.
Walt Whitman
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over.
Walt Whitman
But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
Walt Whitman
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman
Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
Perhaps the efforts of the true poets, founders, religions, literatures, all ages, have been, and ever will be, our time and times to come, essentially the same - to bring people back from their present strayings and sickly abstractions, to the costless, average, divine, original concrete.
Walt Whitman
The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.
Walt Whitman
Ah little recks the laborer, How near his work is holding him to God, The loving Laborer through space and time
Walt Whitman
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
Have you reckon’d a thousand acres much? have you reckon’d the earth much? Have you practis’d so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?
Walt Whitman
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.
Walt Whitman
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Walt Whitman
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.
Walt Whitman
...of two simple men I saw today on the pier in the midst of the crowd, parting the parting of dear friends, the one to remain hung on the other's neck and passionately kissed him. While the one to depart tightly pressed the one to remain in his arms.
Walt Whitman
O to speed where there is space enough and air enough at last!
Walt Whitman
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Walt Whitman
Keep your face always toward the sunshine everything could be worse but isn't and so we are justified in being grateful - and shadows everything could be better but isn't and so it is easy to be bitter 'unless you decide to look on the bright side will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
I am the man, I suffered, I was there.
Walt Whitman
