Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

he can make every word he speaks draw blood,

Now I will do nothing but listen
to accrue what I hear into this song.
To let sounds contribute toward it.
I hear the sound I love.
The sound of the human voice.
I hear all sounds running together.

"See ever so far, there is limitless space outside of that,
Count ever so much, there is limitless time around that."

-from "Song of Myself"
