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

Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman

Image
Lo! body and soul!--this land! Mighty Manhattan, with spires, and The sparkling and hurrying tides, and the ships The varied and ample land,--the South And the North in the light--Ohio's shores, and flashing Missouri, And ever the far-spreading prairies, covered with grass and corn.

Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I will never henceforth have to do with the faith that tells the best! I will have to do only with that faith that leaves the best untold.
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
Image
Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
Walt Whitman
Image
To me the sea is a continual miracle The fishes that swim - the rocks - the motion of the waves - the ships, with men in them, what stranger miracles are there?
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman

The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail

The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.

Nothing can happen more beautiful than death.
