Walt Whitman

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
I say you shall yet find the friend you were looking for.
Walt Whitman
Image
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
Walt Whitman

The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.

Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that loves unrequited sleeps, The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps, And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep.
Walt Whitman
Image
THIS dust was once the Man, / Gentle, plain, just and resolute—under whose cautious hand, / Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age, / Was saved the Union of These States.
Walt Whitman

I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots.
