Whitman Visited

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or visited:

    O you singers solitary, singing by yourself, projecting me,
    O solitary me listening, never more shall I cease perpetuating you
    Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
    Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
    Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what
    there in the night,
    By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon,
    The messenger there aroused, the fire, the sweet hell within,
    The unknown want, the destiny of me.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Understand that your pain will never equal the injustice that is visited upon man, and, finally, listen to my advice. I do owe you advice since I just killed your husband.
    Pray to your God that he make you like stone.
    Albert Camus 1913–9160, French-Algerian novelist, dramatist, philosopher. Gallimard (1958)
