Quote

Sail Forth- Steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O soul, exploring. I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared go. And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Youth, large, lusty, loving -- Youth, full of grace, force, fascination. Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace, force, fascination?
Walt Whitman
Image
Comerado, this is no book,Who touches this, touches a man,(Is it night? Are we here alone?)It is I you hold, and who holds you,I spring from the pages into your arms-decease calls me forth.
Walt Whitman
Image
...of two simple men I saw today on the pier in the midst of the crowd, parting the parting of dear friends, the one to remain hung on the other's neck and passionately kissed him. While the one to depart tightly pressed the one to remain in his arms.

Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman

The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.
Walt Whitman
Image
An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there [in a Daguerreotype] so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.
Walt Whitman
Image
Sure as the most certain sure, plumb in the uprights, well entretied, braced in the beams, Stout as a horse, affectionate, haughty, electrical, I and this mystery here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Image
O amazement of things-even the least particle!
Walt Whitman
Image
But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
Walt Whitman
Image
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
Image
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
Image
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Walt Whitman
Image
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep for the dead I loved so well.
Walt Whitman
Image
When I give, I give myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will You, in all, Myself, with promise to never desert you, To which I sign my name.
