Walt Whitman
Image
Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no place like it, no place with an atom of its glory, pride, and exultancy. It lays its hand upon a man's bowels he grows drunk with ecstasy he grows young and full of glory, he feels that he can never die.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Walt Whitman
Image
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
Image
Long and long has the grass been growing, Long and long has the rain been falling, Long has the globe been rolling round.
Walt Whitman
Image
All is procession the universe is a procession with measured and beautiful motion.
Walt Whitman
Image
I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman, Nor that years will ever stop the existence of me, or any one else.
Walt Whitman
Image
This is the city, and I am one of the citizens/Whatever interests the rest interests me
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, The insignificant is as big to me as any, (What is less or more than a touch).
Walt Whitman
Image
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
Walt Whitman
