Image
Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her that it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.
Walt Whitman
Image
My words itch at your ears till you understand them
Walt Whitman
Image
Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.
Walt Whitman
Image
Long enough have you dream'd contemptible dreams, Now I wash the gum from your eyes, You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life
Walt Whitman
Image
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
Image
In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
Walt Whitman
Image
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
Walt Whitman
Image
The eager and often inconsiderate appeals of reformers and revolutionists are indispensable to counterbalance the inertia and fossilism marking so large a part of human institutions.
Walt Whitman
Image
Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
Walt Whitman
Image
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
Walt Whitman
Image
All truths wait in all things,/They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it
Walt Whitman
Image
I lean and loaf at my ease... observing a spear of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
Image
That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.
Walt Whitman
Image
The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.
Walt Whitman
Image
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Image
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass, Be not afraid of my body.
Walt Whitman
Image
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
Image
O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
Walt Whitman
Image
Are you the new person drawn toward me?
Walt Whitman
Image
I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.
