Walt Whitman

The Complete Poems of Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman spent most of his professional life writing and re-writing Leaves of Grass, revising it multiple times until his death. The first edition was a small book of twelve poems and the last, a compilation of over 400. The poems of Leaves of Grass represent Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. His poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it.

Quotes

  • Mirko Milovanovichas quotedlast year
    All goes onward and outward . . . . and nothing collapses,
    And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

    Has any one supposed it lucky to be born?
    I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it.
  • Mirko Milovanovichas quotedlast year
    Urge and urge and urge,
    Always the procreant urge of the world.

    Out of the dimness opposite equals advance . . . . Always substance and increase,
    Always a knit of identity . . . . always distinction . . . . always a breed of life.
