Walt Whitman

This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
Image
Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Walt Whitman

I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.
