“I will You, in all, Myself, with promise to never desert you,
To which I sign my name.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“not one escaped to tell the fall of Alamo,
The hundred & fifty are dumb yet at Alamo.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good help to you nevertheless
And filter and fiber your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop some where waiting for you”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
