Additional quotes by Walt Whitman
Studying life, eh! Let him take care, studying human life is looking at the stars. If you look too close, there is a dazzle.
The earth never tires,
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first,
Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first,

I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
This is no book;
Who touches this,

Are we here alone?)
It is I you hold,
and who holds you;
I spring from the
pages into your arms...
