Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am, Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary, Looks down, is erect, or bends an arm on an impalpable certain rest, Looking with side-curved head curious what will come next, Both in and out of the game and watching and wondering at it.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
Image
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.
Walt Whitman
Image
I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.
Walt Whitman
Image
The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them
Walt Whitman
Image
The whole purpose of the universe is unerringly aimed at one thing - you.
Walt Whitman
Image
Love, that is day and night - love, that is sun and moon and stars, Love, that is crimson, sumptuous, sick with perfume, no other words but words of love, no other thought but love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Resist much, obey little.
Walt Whitman
Image
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.
