The past, the future, majesty, love - if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Walt Whitman
Image
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less, it comes or it lags behind, It comes from its embowered garden and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world.
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
Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature.
Walt Whitman
Image
We also ascend dazzling and tremendous as the sun, We found our own O my soul in the calm and cool of the daybreak.
Walt Whitman
