The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
I announce the great individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compassionate, fully armed I announce a life that shall be copious, vehement, spiritual, bold, And I announce an end that shall lightly and joyfully meet its translation.
Walt Whitman
Image
If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
Walt Whitman
Image
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
