Whoever you are, now I place ...

Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you/ That you may be my poem/ I whisper with my lips close to your ear/ I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

This is what you shall do: Lo...

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Once I passed through a popul...

Once I passed through a populous city imprinting my brain for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions, Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I Casually met there who detained me for love of me, Day by day and night by night we were together—all else Has long been forgotten by me, I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung To me, Again we wander, we love, we separate again, Again she holds me by the hand, I must not go, I see her close beside me with silent lips sad and tremulous.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Thought Of equality- as if it...

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 616 quotes

And I will show that there is...

And I will show that there is no imperfection in the present, and can be none in the future, And I will show that whatever happens to anybody it may be turn'd to beautiful results, And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death, And I will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are compact, And that all the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Keep your face always toward ...

Keep your face always toward the sunshine everything could be worse but isn't and so we are justified in being grateful - and shadows everything could be better but isn't and so it is easy to be bitter 'unless you decide to look on the bright side will fall behind you.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

A child said What is the gras...

A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands; How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

To drive free, to love free, ...

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 616 quotes

I think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost .

Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.

All beauty comes from beautiful blood and a beautiful brain.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I see great things in basebal...

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Be not dishearten'd -- Affect...

Be not dishearten'd -- Affection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet; Those who love each other shall become invincible.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

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 616 quotes

Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I give you my hand, I give yo...

I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself?

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Are you the new person drawn ...

Are you the new person drawn toward me? To begin with, take warning - I am surely far different from what you suppose; Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal? Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover? Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy'd satisfaction? Do you think I am trusty and faithful? Do you see no further than this fa?ade—this smooth and tolerant manner of me? Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground toward a real heroic man? Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I believe a leaf of grass is ...

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journeywork of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren, And the tree toad is a chef-d'oeurve for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue, And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels!

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Love, that is day and night -...

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.
