The proof of a poet is that… (Walt Whitman Quote)

The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.

More Quotes from Walt Whitman:

O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you, you express me better than I can express myself.
Walt Whitman

Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.
Walt Whitman

The poet judges not as a judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing
Walt Whitman

Their manners, speech, dress, friendships, -- the freshness and candor of their physiognomy -- the picturesque looseness of their carriage -- their deathless attachment to freedom -- their aversion to anything indecorous or soft or mean -- the practical acknowledgment of the citizens of one state by the citizens of all other states -- the fierceness of their roused resentment -- their curiosity and welcome of novelty -- their self-esteem and wonderful sympathy -- their susceptibility to a slight -- the air they have of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors -- the fluency of their speech -- their delight in music, a sure symptom of manly tenderness and native elegance of soul -- their good temper and open-handedness -- the terrible significance of their elections, the President's taking off his hat to them, not they to him -- these too are unrhymed poetry. It awaits the gigantic and generous treatment worthy of it.
Walt Whitman

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.
Walt Whitman

And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.
Walt Whitman
