" O Captain,! My Captain, our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack.....".

I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise, regardless of others, ever regardful of others, maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man ...

On May 31st, 1819, Walt Whitman was born! Happy Birthday! 😃🎂🎈🎉

The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love, The sickness of one of my folks - or of myself ... or ill doing ... or loss or lack of money ... or depressions or exaltations, They come to me days and nights and go from me again, But they are not the Me myself.

All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any.
