I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman

Unscrew the locks from the doors ! Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs !
Walt Whitman

Manhattan streets with their powerful throbs, with beating drums as now, The endless and noisy chorus, the rustle and clank of muskets, (even the sight of the wounded,) Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus! Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
Walt Whitman
Image

Walt Whitman
Image
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
Image
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
I and this mystery, here we stand.
