Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman · 1855
Leaves of Grass
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Am I affirming the universe within me and singing to the world with my own voice?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I read Whitman's verses aloud, my heart swells to overflowing. In a single common blade of grass by the roadside he sees the great miracle of life, and in the sweat of ordinary people he finds the divine. This collection is a vast declaration to affirm oneself wholly and to embrace gladly even the many contradictions within. If you are worn out from bending yourself to others' standards, I urge you to feel the rough breath of this free spirit.
