Famous quotes containing the words todd and/or whitman:

    My evil genius Procrastination has whispered me to tarry ‘til a more convenient season.
    —Mary Todd Lincoln (1818–1882)

    Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!
    Clouds of the west—sun there half an hour
    high—I see you also face to face.
    Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me!
    On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross, returning
    home, are more curious to me than you suppose,
    And you that shall cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, than you might suppose.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
