Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later, delicate death.
Walt Whitman

More quotes by Walt Whitman
Whoever you are, motion and reflection are especially for you, The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.
Walt Whitman
I find no sweeter fat than sticks to my own bones.
Walt Whitman
Now understand me well. It is provided in the essence of things that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.
Walt Whitman
All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.
Walt Whitman
Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
Walt Whitman
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long.
Walt Whitman
And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turned to beautiful results.
Walt Whitman
I believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
Walt Whitman
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
Walt Whitman
What do you suppose will satisfy the soul, except to walk free and own no superior?
Walt Whitman
What a devil art thou, Poverty! How many desires - how many aspirations after goodness and truth - how many noble thoughts, loving wishes toward our fellows, beautiful imaginings thou hast crushed under thy heel, without remorse or pause!
Walt Whitman
I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
Walt Whitman
Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.
Walt Whitman
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
Walt Whitman
In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
Walt Whitman
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
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman
