All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
Image
These are the days that must happen to you.
Walt Whitman

Everybody is writing, writing, writing - worst of all, writing poetry. It'd be better if the whole tribe of the scribblers - every damned one of us - were sent off somewhere with tool chests to do some honest work.
Walt Whitman
