The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves. – Walt Whitman
In the broad earth of ours,
Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed perfection. – Walt Whitman
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. – Walt Whitman
