Image
To behold the day-break! The little light fades the immense and diaphanous shadows, The air tastes good to my palate.
Walt Whitman
Image
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.

Freedom - to walk free and own no superior.
Walt Whitman
Image
O captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done. The ship has weather'd every wrack The prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear The people all exulting While follow eyes, the steady keel The vessel grim and daring But Heart! Heart! Heart! O the bleeding drops of red Where on the deck my captain lies Fallen cold and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning, How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn'd over upon me, And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart, And reach'd till you felt my beard, and reach'd till you held my feet.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

I tramp a perpetual journey.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.
Walt Whitman

But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?
Walt Whitman
Image
Out of every fruition of success, no matter what, comes forth something to make a new effort necessary.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth I dreamed that was the new City of Friends Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love—it led the rest It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman
Image
The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.
Walt Whitman
Image
If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Image
A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.
