More quotes by Walt Whitman
Perhaps the efforts of the true poets, founders, religions, literatures, all ages, have been, and ever will be, our time and times to come, essentially the same - to bring people back from their present strayings and sickly abstractions, to the costless, average, divine, original concrete.
Walt Whitman
The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life? That you are here - that life exists and identity, that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Walt Whitman
Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
Walt Whitman
A perfect writer would make words sing, dance, kiss, do the male and female act, bear children, weep, bleed, rage, stab, steal, fire cannon, steer ships, sack cities, charge with cavalry or infantry, or do anything that man or woman or the natural powers can do.
Walt Whitman
Here is not merely a nation but a teeming nation of nations.
Walt Whitman
I am not contain'd between my hat and boots.
Walt Whitman
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
Walt Whitman
I hate commas in the wrong places.
Walt Whitman
TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after-ward resumes its liberty.
Walt Whitman
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
Walt Whitman
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.
Walt Whitman
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
Walt Whitman
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road.
Walt Whitman
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.
Walt Whitman
The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that loves unrequited sleeps, The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps, And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep.
Walt Whitman
Ah little recks the laborer, How near his work is holding him to God, The loving Laborer through space and time
Walt Whitman
All is procession the universe is a procession with measured and beautiful motion.
Walt Whitman
To me the sea is a continual miracle The fishes that swim - the rocks - the motion of the waves - the ships, with men in them, what stranger miracles are there?
Walt Whitman
