Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me, Me going in for my chances, spending for vast returns, Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me, Not asking the sky to come down to my goodwill, Scattering if freely forever.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I can bear it.
Walt Whitman
Image
I and this mystery, here we stand.
Walt Whitman

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.
Walt Whitman

Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman
Image
You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Walt Whitman
Image
To have great poets, there must be great audiences.
Walt Whitman
Image
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
