Walt Whitman
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?

Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.

My little notebooks were beginnings - they were the ground into which I dropped the seed... I would work in this way when I was out in the crowds, then put the stuff together at home.
Walt Whitman
