Walt Whitman (1953). “The best of Whitman”

Walt Whitman, Robert Hass (2010). “Song of Myself, and Other Poems”, p.229, Counterpoint Press

Sometimes with one I love, I fill myself with rage, for fear I effuse unreturn'd love; But now I think there is no unreturn'd love—the pay is certain, one way or another; (I loved a certain person ardently, and my love was not return'd; Yet out of that, I have written these songs.)

Walt Whitman

Love, Song, Thinking

Walt Whitman (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Walt Whitman (Illustrated)”, p.302, Delphi Classics

Love-buds, put before you and within you, whoever you are, Buds to be unfolded on the old terms; If you bring the warmth of the sun to them, they will open, and bring form, color, perfume, to you; If you become the aliment and the wet, they will become flowers, fruits, tall blanches and trees.

Walt Whitman

Love, Flower, Color

Swiftly arose and spread around me the peace and knowledge that pass all the argument of the earth, And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own, And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers, And that a kelson of the creation is love.

Walt Whitman

Love, Peace, Brother
