Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

The efflux of the soul is happiness, here is happiness,
I think it pervades the open air, waiting at all times,
Now it flows unto us, we are rightly charged.

Allons! whoever you are come travel with me!
Traveling with me you find what never tires.

I tramp a perpetual journey.

The wild gander leads his flock through the cool night,
Ya-honk he says, and sounds it down to me like an invitation.

(I and mine do not convince by arguments, similes, rhymes, We convince by our presence.) - Walt Whitman
