The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do you guess I have some intricate purpose? Well I have, for the Fourth-month showers have, and the mica on the side of a rock has.
Walt Whitman
Image
I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law Will you give me yourself?

Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
Image
The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
Walt Whitman
Image
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman
Image
Americans should know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls.
Walt Whitman
Image
I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
