Walt Whitman
I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete, The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken.
Walt Whitman
Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.
Walt Whitman
All truths wait in all things.
Walt Whitman
I heard what was said of the universe, heard it and heard it of several thousand years it is middling well as far as it goes - but is that all?
Walt Whitman
I and this mystery, here we stand.
Walt Whitman
Manhattan crowds, with their turbulent musical chorus! Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.
