Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

I resist any thing better than my own diversity, Breathe the air but leave plenty after me, And am not stuck up, and am in my place.

I conn'd old times, I sat studying at the feet of the great masters, Now if eligible O that the great masters might return and study me.

Tenderly, be not impatient, (Strong is your hold O mortal flesh, Strong is your hold O love.)
