Walt Whitman

I praise myself, praise myself,
Everything I say applies to you,
Because every atom that belongs to me belongs to you.
I wandered around and invited my soul to join me.
I looked down and leisurely observed a summer blade of grass.
My tongue, every atom in my blood, is made up of this soil and this air.
I was born here, my parents were born here, and so were their parents.
I am 37 years old now, completely healthy, and began to sing.
I hope to sing until I die.
Dogmas and schools should not be interfered with,
Come back for a while and be satisfied with your present situation, but don't forget,
I blindly embrace nature, and I am allowed to speak freely about nature.
With primitive vitality, no one can stop it.

As certain as the most certain thing, as upright as vertical,
Tie it tightly and support it firmly with beams.
As strong, passionate, arrogant and energetic as a horse,
Me and this mystery, we stand here.
My soul is clear and sweet, and everything that is not my soul is clear and sweet.

Twenty-eight young people are taking a bath at the seaside.
Twenty-eight young people are very friendly;
Twenty-eight years of boudoir life is so lonely.
She owns that beautiful house by the sea,
She is handsome, beautifully dressed and hiding behind the curtain.
Which of these young people does she like best?
Oh, the most common one of them, she seems to be the most beautiful.

No matter where I go, forward or backward, I will have a caresser of life.
For the secluded corner and the younger generation, I leaned over to observe and didn't miss anyone or anything.
I absorbed everything for this poem.
Cattle are industriously carrying yokes or stopping in the shade of trees.
What's in your eyes?
In my opinion, this is more than what I have read in my life.
During my long-distance roaming all day, my footsteps started a flock of wild ducks.
As soon as they arrived in Qi Fei, they circled slowly in the sky.
I believe that the purpose of these winged people,
I also admit that red, yellow and white have a role in my heart.
I think this green, purple and spherical corolla has different meanings.
I won't say that a turtle is worthless just because it is a turtle.
Birds in the forest never learn music, but I still think it sings beautifully.
A glance at the maroon mare made me feel ashamed of my clumsiness.

I see myself in everyone, more or less,
My praise and criticism of myself also apply to them.
I know I'm serious,
I don't want to spend my energy defending myself or gaining other people's understanding.
I know the basic rules, never defend myself,
I don't think my behavior is more noble than the level I used when I built my house. )
I will live according to my present situation, which is enough.
Even though no one in the world is aware of this, I still sit contentedly.
Even if people all over the world realized it, I sat contentedly.
There is a world I perceive, and it is the biggest world for me.
That's me,
Whether I can get it today or it will take millions of years to get everything I deserve,
I will accept it happily now, or wait equally happily.
My foothold is connected with granite,
I laugh at your so-called extinction,
I know how wide time is.

I am a poet of body and soul.
I feel the happiness of heaven and the pain of hell.
I grafted the former on me and multiplied it. I translated the latter into a new language.
I am a poet for men and a poet for women.
I said that women are as great as men,
I said nothing is greater than human mother.
I sing a song of expansion or pride,
We've put up with it long enough,
I pointed out that grandeur is only the result of development.
Did you pass everyone? Have you become the president?
It's nothing. Each of them will not only catch up with you, but also move on.
I am the one who walks with the gentle growing night.
I call the earth and the sea half of the night.

Walt whitman, son of the universe, Manhattan,
Crazy, obese, lustful, able to eat and drink, good at reproduction,
Not a sentimental person, not above men and women, not far away from them,
Not humble or presumptuous.
Unlock the door!
Pry the door off the doorframe, too!
To belittle others is to belittle me,
No matter what you say or do, it's for me in the end.
The spirit is surging in me,
Trends and indicators also pass through me.
I agree with all kinds of desires and carnal desires,
Vision, hearing and feeling are magical, and every part of me and everything attached to me are also miracles.
I am sacred inside and out, and I make everything I touch or touch sacred.
The smell in these armpits is more beautiful than prayer,
This head is more beautiful than the church, than the Bible, and than all dogmas.
I love myself, it's all mine, everything is so sweet,
Every moment, and what happens at any time, makes me tremble with happiness.
I can't tell you how my ankle bends and where my smallest wish comes from.
I can't tell the root cause of friendship and the reason to start friendship again.
I walked up the steps and stopped to wonder if it was true.
A morning glory in front of my window is more satisfying than the philosophy in the book.
Look at dawn!
That little dawn diluted the huge and transparent shadow,
I think the air tastes fresh.

I believe that a blade of grass is as important as the daily work of stars.
An ant, a grain of sand and an emu egg are all equally perfect.
Rain Frog is also a masterpiece carefully produced by the creator.
The spread of black poison can decorate beautiful houses in heaven.
And a small joint in my hand can despise all machines!
Cows that bow their heads and eat grass can surpass any statue,
A mouse is a miracle enough to shock millions of pagans.

The friendly and free-spirited savage, who is he?
Is he waiting for civilization? Or has he surpassed and mastered it?
Wherever he goes, men and women will receive him and miss him.
They all long for him to love them, touch them, talk to them and live with them.
Actions are like snowflakes, words are as simple as grass,
My hair is never combed, my laughter is endless and innocent,
Steady steps, ordinary looks, ordinary manners and expressions,
These fell from his fingertips in a new form,
With the smell or breath of his body floating out, flying out of his eyes.
Forty two.
I fully understand my egoism,
I understand my compromise, and I can never write less.
No matter who you are, I will take you to fill myself.
This song of mine is not an ordinary lyric.
But a simple question, jumping far but close,
This is a printed and bound book-but what about the printer and the children in the printing house?
These are beautiful photos-but what about your real wife and friends who are hugging you?
The sky is high-but here, next door, or across the street,
There are saints and philosophers in history-but what about yourself,
Preaching, dogma, theology-but what about the unfathomable human brain?
What is rationality? what is love ? What is life?

I am on an eternal journey. (Come and listen! )
My logo is a raincoat, a pair of good shoes and a crutch cut from the Woods.
None of my friends are in my chair. Impossible,
I have no chair, no church, no philosophy,
I don't take anyone to the dining table, the library or the exchange.
I just took every man and woman of you to a mountain,
I put my left hand around your waist,
My right hand points to the landscapes and roads on all continents.
I can't. No one can go that way instead of you.
You must go by yourself.
It's not far, it can be reached.
Maybe you were on that road when you were born, but you just didn't know it.
Or used to be everywhere on water and land.
Dear child! Carrying your bag, I also carry my own, let's move forward quickly.
We will see beautiful cities and free land along the way.
If you are tired, give me both bags.
Put your hand on me for a while,
In due course, you will do the same thing to me,
Because once you start, you can't lie down and rest.
Today, I climbed a hill in front of Tian Liang and looked at the crowded sky.
I said to my soul: When we have the happiness and knowledge of these planets and everything on them, do we feel full and satisfied?
My soul said no, we only reached that height, and we had to climb over it.
You're asking me questions, too I heard it,
I replied that I couldn't answer. You must find it yourself.
Fifty two
If you can't find me at the moment, please keep your courage.
If you don't see one place, look for another.
I will always wait for you somewhere.
