Walt Whitman Hours Quotations

From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines.

Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom - one brief hour of madness and joy.

Will you seek afar off? You surely come back at last, In things best known to you, finding the best, or as good as the best, In folks nearest to you finding the sweetest, strongest, lovingest; Happiness, knowledge, not in another place, but this place-not for another hour, but this hour.

This hour I tell things in confidence/ I might not tell everybody, but I will tell you.

From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master...
