Quote by Walt Whitman
The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that lov

The female that loves unrequited sleeps,
And the male that loves unrequited sleeps,
The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps,
And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep. – Walt Whitman
