― Leaves of Grass
This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson

Night, sleep, death and the stars.
— Walt Whitman, “A Clear Midnight,” Leaves of Grass. Originally published: July 4, 1855.

“I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.”
