What beauty there is in words what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
Walt Whitman
Image
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
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 believe in the flesh and the appetites, Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle. Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touched from, The scent of these armpits aroma finer than prayer, This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
Walt Whitman
Image
I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell
Walt Whitman
Image
I say the whole earth and all the stars in the sky are for religion's sake.
Walt Whitman
Image
To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom - one brief hour of madness and joy.
Walt Whitman
Image
I will write the evangel-poem of comrades and of love.
Walt Whitman
Image
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Walt Whitman
Image
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
Walt Whitman
Image
You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you are not all that is here, I believe much unseen is also here
Walt Whitman
Image
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing is lacking, Yet all were lacking if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the right man were lacking.
Walt Whitman
Image
There's no doubt that I've deserved my enemies, but I don't think I've deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
Image
Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.
Walt Whitman
Image
The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss... it is inevitable as life.
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
I inhale great draught of space...the east and west are mine...and the north and south are mine...I am grandeur than I thought...I did not know i held so much goodness.
Walt Whitman
Image
Thought Of equality- as if it harm'd me, giving others the same chances and rights as myself- as if it were not indispensable to my own rights that others possess the same.
Walt Whitman
Image
The sum of all known value and respect, I add up in you, whoever you are.
