Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
Image
God is a mean-spirited, pugnacious bully bent on revenge against His children for failing to live up to his impossible standards.
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
Forsake all inhibitions, Pursue thy dreams.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over.
Walt Whitman
Image
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.
Walt Whitman

Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman

And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
