“ ”I believe in the flesh and the appetites;
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.
Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touch’d from;
The scent of these arm-pits, aroma finer than prayer;
This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.

Additional quotes by Walt Whitman

Unscrew the locks from the doors !
Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs !
Ezen a napon, ó, Lélek, csodás tükröt adok neked;
Sokáig hevert a sötétben, piszokban és ködben – De a köd eloszlott, vaksága eltűnt;
…Nézd csak, ó, Lélek! tiszta és ragyogó ez a tükör,
Híven mutatja neked a világ minden dolgát.
