Re: Awesome Quotes
My two favorite quotes from Walt Whitman:
"A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;...I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord, A scented gift and remembrancer, designedly dropt,
Bearing the owner’s name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say, Whose?"
"To see nothing anywhere but what you may reach it and pass it,...To see no being, not God’s or any, but you also go thither, To see no possession but you may possess it—enjoying all without labor or purchase—abstracting the feast, yet not abstracting one particle of it;" (From Leaves of Grass, Song of the Open Road)
