Image
The jour printer with gray head and gaunt jaws works at his case, He turns his quid of tobacco, while his eyes blur with the manuscript.
Walt Whitman
Image
Be not dishearten'd -- Affection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet Those who love each other shall become invincible.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
I find letters from God dropt in the street, and every one is sign'd by God's name.
Walt Whitman
Image
The truth is simple. If it was complicated, everyone would understand it.
Walt Whitman
Image
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean
Walt Whitman
Image
Without enough wilderness America will change. Democracy, with its myriad personalities and increasing sophistication, must be fibred and vitalized by regular contact with outdoor growths - animals, trees, sun warmth and free skies - or it will dwindle and pale.
Walt Whitman
Image
In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear I think there is nothing but immortality!
Walt Whitman
Image
When I undertake to tell the best, I find I cannot. My tongue is ineffectual on its pivots, My breath will not be obedient to its organs, I become a dumb man.
Walt Whitman
Image
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
Image
Only themselves understand themselves and the like of themselves, As souls only understand souls.
Walt Whitman
Image
storming, enjoying, planning, loving, cautioning, Backing and filling, appearing and disappearing, I tread day and night such roads.
Walt Whitman
Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself.
Walt Whitman
Image
A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all.
Walt Whitman
Image
I have said that the soul is not more than the body, And I have said that the body is not more than the soul, And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's-self is.
Walt Whitman
Image
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost.
Walt Whitman
Image
In nothing is there more evolution than the American mind.
Walt Whitman
Image
Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul and your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.
Walt Whitman
