Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

they may prove well in lecture-rooms, yet not prove at all under the spacious clouds and along the landscape and flowing currents.

I do not ask who you are, that is not important to me, You can do nothing and be nothing but what I will infold you.

To touch my person to some one else's is about as much as I can stand, - Walt Whitman
