Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Quotes

“It is not upon you alone the dark patches fall, The dark threw its patches down upon me also, The best I had done seem'd to me blank and suspicious,

― Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry

“What is it then between us?

What is the count of the scores or hundreds of years between us?

Whatever it is, it avails not”
― Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
