Image
A man can be a hero in any profession
Walt Whitman
Image
this is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman
Image
I sing the body electric.
Walt Whitman
Image
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman
Image
Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.
Walt Whitman
Image
Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry), Our life is closed, our life begins, The long, long anchorage we leave, The ship is clear at last, she leaps! She swiftly courses from the shore, Joy, shipmate, joy!
Walt Whitman

The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail
Walt Whitman
Image
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
Image
Over all the sky - the sky! Far, far out of reach, studded with eternal stars.
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
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
What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?
Walt Whitman
Image
The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
Clear and sweet is my soul, clear and sweet is all that is not my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
I loafe and invite my soul.
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
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman
Image
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.

Are you the new person drawn toward me?
