Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed perfection. – Walt Whitman
A great city is that which has the greatest men and women. – Walt Whitman

A great city is that which has the greatest men and women. – Walt Whitman
I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers. – Walt Whitman
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. – Walt Whitman
