Image
I know I am deathlessÂ…We have thus far exhausted trillions of winters and summers, There are trillions ahead, and trillions ahead of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
Nothing endures but personal qualities.
Walt Whitman
Image
Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Walt Whitman
Image
Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair.
Walt Whitman
Image
Dearest comrades, all is over and long gone, But love is not over.
Walt Whitman

If any thing is sacred, the human body is sacred.
Walt Whitman
Image
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Walt Whitman
Image
Now I will do nothing but listen to accrue what I hear into this song. To let sounds contribute toward it. I hear the sound I love. The sound of the human voice. I hear all sounds running together.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
Walt Whitman
Image
The art of art... is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
Image
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
Image
And I will show of male and female that either is but the equal of the other.
Walt Whitman
Image
I like the scientific spirit-the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine-it always keeps the way beyond open.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
There's no doubt that I've deserved my enemies, but I don't think I've deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
Image
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
