Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

Has any one supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.

You sea! I resign myself to you also-
I guess what you mean,
I behold from the beach your crooked fingers,
I believe you refuse to go back without feeling of me.
We must have a turn together,
I undress, hurry me out of sight of the land,
Cushion me soft, rock me billowy drowse,
Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you.

The present now and here, America’s busy, teeming, intricate whirl, Of aggregate and segregate for only thence releasing, To-day’s eidolons.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. - Walt Whitman
