Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering. I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my BARBARIC YAWP over the roofs of the world

what is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.

I know I am august,
I do not trouble my spirit to vindicate itself or be understood,
I see that the elementary laws never apologize,

I act as the tongue of you, ... tied in your mouth . . . . in mine it begins to be loosened. - Walt Whitman
