Image
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
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
I am larger, better than I thought I did not know I held so much goodness.
Walt Whitman
Image
I know I am deathlessÂ…We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers, There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me again O Nature your primal sanities!
Walt Whitman
Image
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
Image
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.
Walt Whitman
Image
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable.
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
Copulation is no more foul to me than death is.
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
Image
Most works are most beautiful without ornament.
