Não há quase nada que um poema do Whitman não resolva. Absolutamente amo o trabalho deste homem. Sempre recorro ao Leaves of Grass em busca de conforto, quando quero expressar em palavras momentos grandiosos, exaltar a existência, a individualidade, a identidade, o amor ao próximo, ao desconhecido. É arrebatador. Uma espécie de bíblia.

O trecho que segue é do "Out of the craddle endlessly rocking".Virou uma espécie de mantra para mim. Um chamado ao amor.
Hither my love!
Here I am! here!
With this just-sustain'd note I announce myself to you,
This gentle call is for you my love, for you.
Segue um trecho do primeiro poema do Walt que eu amei: "Song of myself"
Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touch'd from,
The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
If I worship one thing more than another it shall be the spread of my own body, or any part of it,
Translucent mould of me it shall be you!
Shaded ledges and rests it shall be you!
Firm masculine colter it shall be you!
Whatever goes to the tilth of me it shall be you!
You my rich blood! your milky stream pale strippings of my life!
Breast that presses against other breasts it shall be you!
My brain it shall be your occult convolutions!
The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.
If I worship one thing more than another it shall be the spread of my own body, or any part of it,
Translucent mould of me it shall be you!
Shaded ledges and rests it shall be you!
Firm masculine colter it shall be you!
Whatever goes to the tilth of me it shall be you!
You my rich blood! your milky stream pale strippings of my life!
Breast that presses against other breasts it shall be you!
My brain it shall be your occult convolutions!
