Image
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
Image
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
I dance with the dancers.
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.
Walt Whitman
Image
Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful stroke!
Walt Whitman
Image
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard.
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning, I am surely far different from what you suppose.
Walt Whitman
Image
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
Image
O amazement of things-even the least particle!
Walt Whitman
Image
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. Henceforth, I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune. Henceforth, I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.
Walt Whitman
Image
I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.
Walt Whitman
Image
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
Walt Whitman
Image
Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
We were together. I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman
Image
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
Image
not one escaped to tell the fall of Alamo, The hundred & fifty are dumb yet at Alamo.
Walt Whitman
