Walt Whitman on Earth

← Back to Walt Whitman Profile
“In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed perfection.”
Walt Whitman
“The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them.”
Walt Whitman
