Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.

That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
Image
I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.
Walt Whitman
Image
When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth - but all is truth without exception And henceforth I will go celebrate any thing I see or am, And sing and laugh and deny nothing.
Walt Whitman
Image
But the people are ungrammatical, untidy, and their sins gaunt and ill-bred.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Image
Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Walt Whitman

And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman

O amazement of things-even the least particle!
Walt Whitman
Image
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am, Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary, Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest, Looking with side-curved head curious what will come next, Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
Walt Whitman
Image
Over all the sky - the sky! Far, far out of reach, studded with eternal stars.
Walt Whitman
Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
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
I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compassionate, fully armed I announce a life that shall be copious, vehement, spiritual, bold, And I announce an end that shall lightly and joyfully meet its translation.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
