Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself, / And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten / million years, / I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait.

There was a child went forth every day,

And the first object he looked upon, that object he became...

There will never be any more perfection than there is now.
