The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
Walt Whitman
Image
Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus! Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
Walt Whitman
Image
A Song of the good green grass! A song no more of the city streets A song of farms - a song of the soil of fields. A song with the smell of sun-dried hay, where the nimble pitchers handle the pitch-fork A song tasting of new wheat, and of fresh-husk'd maize.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the beginning and the end, But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.
Walt Whitman
Image
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.
Walt Whitman
Image
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
Walt Whitman
Image
I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, And accrue what I hear into myself...and let sound contribute toward me.
Walt Whitman
Image
To me the sea is a continual miracle The fishes that swim - the rocks - the motion of the waves - the ships, with men in them, what stranger miracles are there?
Walt Whitman
Image
Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art, the glory of expression, is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity, and the sunlight of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity-nothing can make up for excess, or for the lack of definiteness.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
Image
I see Hermes, unsuspected, dying, well-beloved, saying to the people, Do not weep for me, This is not my true country, I have lived banished from my true country - I now go back there, I return to the celestial sphere where every one goes in his turn.
Walt Whitman
Image
Each of us inevitable Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side...The Bending forward and backward of the rowers...
Walt Whitman
Image
Simplicity is the glory of expression.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels he grows drunk with ecstasy he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.
