Why who makes much of a miracl...

Why who makes much of a miracle? As to me I know nothing else but miracles, whether they be animals feeding in the fields, Or, birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air, Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright, Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring; These, with the rest, one and all, are to me, miracles.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I cannot too often repeat that...

I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The eager and often inconsider...

The eager and often inconsiderate appeals of reformers and revolutionists are indispensable to counterbalance the inertia and fossilism marking so large a part of human institutions.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Praised be the fathomless univ...

Praised be the fathomless universe, for life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

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 616 quotes

I sing the body electric....

I sing the body electric.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The truest and greatest Poetry...

The truest and greatest Poetry, (while subtly and necessarily always rhythmic, and distinguishable easily enough) can never again, in the English language, be express'd in arbitrary and rhyming metre, any more than the greatest eloquence, or the truest power and passion.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Human bodies are words, myriad...

Human bodies are words, myriads of words, (In the best poems re-appears the body, man's or woman's, well-shaped, natural, gay, Every part able, active, receptive, without shame or the need of shame.)

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Surrounded, detached, in measu...

Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

What is commonest and cheapest...

What is commonest and cheapest and nearest and easiest is Me, Me going in for my chances, spending for vast returns, Adorning myself to bestow myself on the first that will take me, Not asking the sky to come down to my goodwill, Scattering if freely forever.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The Americans, like the Englis...

The Americans, like the English, probably make love worse than any other race.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

O Captain! My Captain! our fea...

O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The President eats dirt and excrement for his daily meals, likes it and tries to force it on The States.

Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I can bear it.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

You want to know a sure way to...

You want to know a sure way to lose money? Buy what's popular and don't know what you are investing in.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

Have you not learned the most ...

Have you not learned the most in your life from those with whom you disagreed - those who saw it differently from you?

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

So here I sit in the early can...

So here I sit in the early candle-light of old age-I and my book-casting backward glances over out travel'd road.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

I bequeath myself to the dirt ...

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

In all people I see myself - n...

In all people I see myself - none more, and not one a barleycorn less; And the good or bad I say of myself, I say of them.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes

The mother condemned for a wit...

The mother condemned for a witch and burnt with dry
wood, and her children gazing on;
The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the
fence, blowing and covered with sweat,
The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck,
The murderous buckshot and the bullets,
All these I feel or am.

Walt Whitman 616 quotes
