Image
I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person.
Walt Whitman
Image
To die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.
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
The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son, Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding, No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them, No more modest than immodest.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again and ever again, this soiled world.
Walt Whitman
Image
Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality, And the vast all that is called Evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
Image
I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened.
Walt Whitman
Image
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.
Walt Whitman
Image
There's a man in the world who is never turned down, whatever he chances to stray he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or out where the farmers makes hay he's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods wherever he goes there's a welcoming hand-he's the man who delivers the goods.
Walt Whitman
Image
There is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheeled universe.
Walt Whitman
Image
And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.
Walt Whitman
Image
A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.
