Quote

I sing the body electric, The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them, They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them, And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

We also ascend dazzling and tremendous as the sun, We found our own O my soul in the calm and cool of the daybreak.
Walt Whitman

I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell
Walt Whitman
Image
The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman

Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
