Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
Walt Whitman
Image
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Image
We also ascend dazzling and tremendous as the sun, We found our own O my soul in the calm and cool of the daybreak.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you done it, it ain't bragging.
Walt Whitman
Image
It is a beautiful truth that all men contain something of the artist in them. And perhaps it is the case that the greatest artists live and die, the world and themselves alike ignorant what they possess.
Walt Whitman
Image
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
