Walt Whitman quote: "Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for..."
Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour. Walt Whitman
Song of myself. With music strong I come, with my cornets and my drums, I play not marches for accepted victors only, I play marches for conquer'd and slain persons. Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won. I beat and pound for the dead, I blow through my embouchures my loudest and gayest for them. Vivas to those who have fail'd! And to those whose war-vessels sank in the sea! And to those... Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved..."
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends. Walt Whitman
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where..."
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Walt Whitman
I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough, To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough, To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough, To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then? I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea. Walt Whitman
I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "Nothing can happen more beautiful than death."
Nothing can happen more beautiful than death. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than..."
And I will show that nothing can happen more beautiful than death. Walt Whitman
A perfect writer would make words sing, dance, kiss, do the male and female act, bear children, weep, bleed, rage, stab, steal, fire cannon, steer ships, sack cities, charge with cavalry or infantry, or do anything that man or woman or the natural powers can do. Walt Whitman
This is the female form, vapor, A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot, It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction, I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a helpless vapor, all falls aside but myself and it, Books, art, religion, time, the visible and solid earth, and what was expected of heavaen or fear'd of hell, are now consumed, Mad filament, ungovernable shoots play out of it, the response likewise ungovernable... Walt Whitman
Loafe with me on the grass—loose the stop from your throat; Not words, not music or rhyme I want—not custom or lecture, not even the best; Only the lull I like, the hum of your valved voice. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "Peace is always beautiful."
Peace is always beautiful. Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman quote: "Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow..."
Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. Walt Whitman
